Fliegen / Cycle

 

fliegen
cycle
 

wertvolle zeit fliegt vorbei
ich rühre mich nicht
beobachte
warum?

wertvolle zeit fliegt vorbei
ich springe auf
fliege
warum?

genieße die "andere" welt
in einer kurve fliege ich raus.
warum?

 

precious time flying by
moving not
watching
why?

precious time flying by
jumping on
flying
why?

enjoying the “other” world
crashing at a blind corner
why?

 

Comment:
If you know German, you see that both title and text slightly differ from the English translation. When I did the word by word translation I was very much disappointed that the message of the German poem is not transported. Many, many days and trys later, this version was choosen even though not to my total satisfaction.
