bridges of Konigsberg

                (1)


    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
