What Is Our Place

A black and white photo of a tunnel in the metro of Sofia, Bulgaria.

What is our place

when it’s already taken?

One could go after it

by forcing the river to change its course;

Humble eyes are quiet,

waiting for time to move away;

Perhaps that place is showing us

which path not to take;

Most of us, the ordinary ones, not the “special" ones,

took a step down.

No knowledge can oblige us

to be jailed, seeking a place

that doesn't belong to us.
