wait
until you are born
in a city, unfortunately or not
live
for 24 years
leave
but not for too long
randomly, find another city
blind to notice the intimate relationships, behind the indifference of the macroscopic world,
let “passion at a distance”* knit everything together
arrive
for a while
dance
get cold
get rained on
fall in love
think about staying
think about home
fall again
in many things like love

now

find a way to buy your ticket, many tickets,
return
from and to
change
imagine the pollution
remember the ones you love
from and to
repeat until these all get confusing:
from and to
coming and going
here and there
