opposite me: roads, buildings, housing estates, a few houses
opposite me: grass plots, trees, passers-by
opposite me: souls and windows
I am in another world, another city, another room
I watch from the sidelines
unable to participate fully in the life of this world
I am half human in my actions
from you I get the food that lets me go on living
my other half is drifting clouds, summertime flowers
autumn leaves, lakes of the Earth
rivers, creeks advancing boldly towards oceans
highlands, grasslands, vast primeval forests
the wind at nightfall, morning downpours, unpre-
dictable vapours, distant places, disused railway track, ghost towns
deserts, hibernations, putrefaction, a seed recalled to the dust
unnoticed
