”Curle up & hide”
Senseless in a way of speaking
I close my eyes and feel
the inside of my egg-shell
Perfectly round, a million familiar spots
No reason to get out of here
but curiosity and a strong urge to
-finally-
stretch my leggs
Senseless in a way of speaking
I open my eyes and feel
the sharves of my egg-shell
Divided, broken, a million now alienated spots
No possibillity to get back in there
Just a little fear and a strong urge to
-again-
curl up and hide
We’ll all grow up to be wise children
