We dance, do sports
we cycle and we sing
along with the songs

of our life, as long as we
don't pay attention to the words
Otherwise we would stumble

through the blow of the message
or over our thoughts
about the sung sorrow

or the clumsiness
of the lyrics, how possibly
has the singer learned them by heart?

And that it's such a lucky coincidence
if you find a matching partner
in love and profession

as if we are space travellers
with a mass far too small
to attract each other
