Read it and forgot.
As water ran through the tap,
As the wind blew out a candle,
As a snowflake became a droplet.

What’s the sense of speaking?
Of the planet spinning on its axis?
Of flying into a black hole,
So that at last everyone becomes nothing?

From flash and fading the piston works —
A passenger hurries home,
Someone lets a thought pass, or hears a word —
And corrects the bearing onto the target.
