English Engelska الإنجليزيّة
People are flat and square
like padded envelopes.
We used to buy them for two
pound at the post office.
Now they cost ten pound,
more if you not buy them online.
New price, same product.
Padded envelopes with
skeleton inside
moving back and forth
along an established infrastructure.
People are padded envelopes.
But I am something else.
A box of books maybe, no,
something more remarkable.
A sunrise, yes, sort of,
but not as cliché.
I can not explain,
I'm too big, words don't fit me.
My thoughts are more
advanced than existing
words can describe.
I am complex and others
can't comprehend complexity,
that's why people think that
I am also an envelope.
Sometimes when I stroll,
being and unseen sunrise
walking in the forest,
and I stop to look at a
deer chewing grass and I
discover that beside me
stands a person looking
at the same deer,
then I think that maybe
she is also a sunrise.
Maybe all people.
Maybe even the idiot who
smokes outside my house.
And I am struck by the thought
that the world is full of
unseen sunrises
and all we see is
each other's envelopes.
