I have a very small window
And yet it shows me the world
Thousands of people are crowding outside it
And I can see their tracks.
Some of them are dressed in colorful clothes
Some are very fuzzy
Some of them cry out loudly
Some say nothing
Some of them show their faces
Some just try to hide behind animated pictures
I try to figure them out
Try to see who they are
Try to learn about their minds
But I will never know for sure
Those who say they are my friends
Are they?
Those who say they like me
Do they?
If I think I like them
Is it really them?
Or is it just my own inner likeness I find?
Is it perhaps just myself in the reflection of the glass?
We sometimes talk about this and that
Say hello, and how are you?
Talk about weather and work
About love, marriage and divorce
Say see ya! and good-bye!
Then I close my window
Let it rest black through the night while I sleep
Let it reflect the daylight while I work
It’s a wonderful window
With promises and opportunities
And this I know for sure
I’ll be looking out through it again, and again, and again.
