Everything Flows

Everything Flows

Everything is fine

The trees are skeletons, still standing among the leaves

Like the victims of a massacre

My hands are freezing

They look frail

Like a moonscape on my knuckles

But fortunately I like winter more than all the other seasons

Everything continues

The rhine continues

Just like the rain continues to fall like it did all week

Until suddenly it doesn’t

The train continues to be late (This is not fascist Italy)

And I continue working on my assignment

Until I’m too bored or tired to continue

Fortunately the sun has finally decided to show up again

Maike sits in front of me and stares out the window

Fortunately she likes the sun as well as I do

Fortunately we’re all poor suckers for the sun

Fortunately, everything continues, everything flows

It hardly changes at all
