But we have to do something, don’t we?
It was as if they were moving backward in time.
Like a dream that lasted for years.
He had a full life, a full world.
Would she become happy there, given time?
Was she happy in her new place?
If only he could float through the window.
Perhaps it is time for a break.
I watch the trains.
Immediately the atmosphere changed.
He had never been really good at appearing relaxed.
I see we have a few new faces.
So let me explain the rules.
Is this Intermediate German?
The lightness returned.
Was time playing with him, or was he playing with time?
Suddenly his life meant something.
He sang along as loudly as he could.
He now missed how time had seemed to stand still at those moments.
He now had a better sense of how this might work.
He wasn’t sure how this would work.
Whatever he wanted he could have.
Whatever he thought about he could see in front of him.
Where should I take you?
Gone Fishin’
And it felt right and true.
“I’m free”, he said aloud again, just to hear it.
He didn’t know how to think anymore.
It’s sad. It’s a sad story.
I probably shouldn’t have told you that.
There’s nothing the matter.
Everything’s fine.
This was how it would go.
But now it had happened again.
They should just wait and see, the doctor said.
Maybe he just has nothing to say.
He disappears into the long black line.
They stood in little groups.
Everyone agreed that it was beautiful.
Don’t look at me.
The air was cold and heavy with moisture.
I don’t want to talk.
That is one way to think of it.
Your shadow has arrived.
You tried to be smart, didn’t you?
Nobody said anything.
You are innocent.
Or are we near-strangers, just assuming and pretending?
Do we understand each other?
Learn to love the numbness.
