Strangers


nothing impresses me anymore

A passenger on the bus says… nothing impresses me.

Not the radio, the morning newspapers, or even fortresses on hills. I long for a weep.

The bus driver says: Wait until we reach the station, and weep alone as you can.

A lady says: Me too. Nothing impresses me. I spoiled my son upon my grave, he enjoyed it and slept without saying goodbye.

A university student says: Me neither. Nothing impresses me. I studied archeology without finding an identity in stones. Am I really me?

A solider says: Me too. Nothing impresses me. I guard a ghost that always haunts me.

The angry driver replies: We are close to our last stop, get ready to leave.

They scream: We want what is beyond the station, so go.

As for me, I say: Drop me here. I am like them, nothing impresses me. But I am tired from traveling for no reason ;

i am tired of being alone all time while i have a famile and a lot of friends ; but i guess howmatter what we have we are always alone.
