A local said I don't
know my old
me except
it has the same
electric charge
Old
me repels me when
I try to enter
a bridge for a second
time
Here is my city which I love
I imagine all possible paths
but only one belongs to me
my life. There is one
bridge
I don't know which
on which
I'll never set my foot
(2)
A vagrant answered me
walks but one path
thru forests and towns
me misses many bridges
but one bridge
never leaves me
the blue sky of my stomach
rain or shine
