old times


by anonymous



people are melancholy
and sometimes they are babies too
i have never heard a nightingale sing
and do not know what one looks like

i pretend to like pizza
in the hope that people will accept me
i never give straight answers
to so-called simple questions

my aunt tania had a dog named ralph
a curious name for a dog, i thought
i suspected it was the name of an old lover
or as she would say, an old flame

time goes by, and expressions change
do you find that sad? - i am afraid i do not
