:29:28
Well?
-l"m going to enter the river.
:29:31
An old human expression
that l only understand today.
:29:35
Now or never, moment of the ford.
:29:37
But there is no other bank,
there is only the river.
:29:41
lnto the ford of time,
the ford of death.
:29:45
We"re not yet born,
so let"s descend.
:29:48
To look is not to look from on high,
but at eye-level.
:29:51
First, l"ll take a bath.
:29:54
Then l"ll be shaved
by a Turkish barber...
:29:59
who will also massage me
down to the fingertips.
:30:02
Then l"ll buy a newspaper and read it
from the headlines to the horoscope.
:30:09
On the first day, l"ll only be served.
For requests, ask the neighbour.
:30:15
lf someone stumbles over my legs,
he"ll apologise.
:30:18
lf pushed, l"ll push back.
:30:21
The bartender will find me
an empty table.
:30:24
A car will stop,
and the mayor will give me a lift.
:30:28
l"ll be familiar to everyone,
suspect to no one.
:30:31
l won"t say a word,
will understand every language.
:30:34
This will be my first day.
-But none of it will be true.
