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.
