At the beginning

 

At the beginning

you only see swimming pools.

When you become a soul

your eyes go on looking at the Earth.

I was flying and passing through the people’s dreams

like a movie’s extra until

one night I found myself inside

one of my ex - wife Elsa’s dreams.

You have changed so much! She told me, and she was right

because souls do not have hair on the back.

Soon you see the world as in

Potemkin Battleship... “For a bowl of soup”.

Using my new talent, I still repeat “For a bowl of soup”

inside my coffin and above the clouds at the same time

when I look

at the Earth.
