At first I wondered why they only speak to each other
|
It took me some time to understand
|
That they cannot see or hear any of the crowd
|
After observing their childlike behaviour I understood
|
They were two little children stuck in the bodies of grown ups
|
|
To the girl I said
|
You are Lady
|
To the boy I said
|
You are a bird but you cannot fly
|
|
They knew about the presence of other people
|
They knew about the sun
|
And at some point right before the break of day
|
They could see me,
|
Not knowing that I come from the outside
|
|
On the seventh day she looked up at me and said
|
I am Lady
|
And the boy said
|
I am Bird but I cannot fly
|
|
You are a bird
|
