:12:02
And what do you have to tell?
:12:07
A passer-by who, in the rain,
folded her umbrella and was drenched.
:12:15
A schoolboy who described
to his teacher a fern growing...
:12:21
and the astounded teacher.
:12:25
A blind woman, who groped her watch,
feeling my presence.
:12:32
lt's great to live by the spirit,
to testify for eternity...
:12:36
only what is spiritual
in people's minds.
:12:41
But sometimes l'm fed up
with my spiritual existence...
:12:45
of forever hovering above.
:12:47
l'd like to feel a weight in me...
:12:49
to end the infinity,
and to tie me to earth.
:12:53
l'd like at each step,
each gust of wind...
:12:57
to be able to say:
''Now, now and now.''
:13:01
No longer:
''Forever'' and ''For eternity''.
:13:03
Sit at the empty place at a card table,
be greeted...
:13:08
even by a nod.
:13:12
Every time we participated,
it was a pretence.
:13:17
Wrestling, allowing a hip to be put out,
in pretence...
:13:21
catching a fish in pretence.
:13:24
ln pretence, sitting at tables
drinking and eating in pretence.
:13:29
Having lambs roasted and wine served
in the tents in the desert...
:13:34
only in pretence.
:13:36
l don't have to beget a child
or plant a tree...
:13:41
but it would be nice,
coming home after a long day...
:13:46
to feed the cat like Philip Marlowe...
:13:50
to have a fever,
blackened fingers from the newspaper.
:13:56
To be excited not only by the mind,
but by a meal.
