If a door is not a door
but an artistic optical illusion
then I can still appreciate that
but an inheritance of debts
or a romantic wedding night
in 'Paris l'amour' going wrong
are certainly not dreams
I wish to come true
I rather keep up the fairy tales
So I point to a positive side
or I play that it goes well
and nothing is at stake
But is a tree alive when it rustles?
What is truth? Can illusions just be
recognized by the appearance
to be as real as real?
Or even more real, if happiness
is re-enacted in a play, because
loyalty and doubt seem to be
much more authentic on stage
and to render more sense there
than is possible in my own life
