FACTORY SHADOWS
one of the shoes lost again
there are not enough for every limb
I’m late for work now for this
I can’t travel by bike now
I’ll have to try calling there
my thoughts read something
and you don’t have to, it’s a gentle slope
arrives to pick me up from my room
what does this thing tell me?
maybe something good promises
can maybe become familiar in a hurry
or do I have to sink into the mud like this?
Maybe my work will already achieve something
maybe I earned my living
maybe you need to humble yourself somewhere
can you experience the giving of thanks?
then the tram will arrive
without an order for me
then my route to the factory curves
I’m working like a worker now
hunger arrives at lunchtime
I didn’t have any snacks
I can get help with that from a friend
that I can come that day too
maybe I have to share some advice
maybe the disputes have already been settled?
Can I go on a trip across the country?
or will someone come to me today?
Maybe life will become clearer from this
even though I worry from time to time
I’m keeping a cool head
even if I sacrifice, I will help
