Midnight?
The clock reads 12:00
Also my watch reads 12:00
But it this midday or midnight?
A gloomy light peers through the curtains
Is it the light from the lamppost?
Or is it daylight on a grey day?
Children shouting in the street,
The lift going up and down,
All right, this is 12:00 noon.
A glance through the window
A thick fog covers the town
My head also is full of fog.
How strange! Now it’s raining on my face
Together with the fog.
No, it’s not raining,
I did not open the window.
I am feeling cold.
I go back to bed
For another 12 hours.
