Floating

Minor signs of anxiety Sunk in the glass of lemon water In the panic of the present time Life flows in a calm stream Along the damp walls of low storey buildings My boat floats to nowhere Under the arches of old bridges Voices distorted by echoes ring out What they say, what they are silent about Is unimportant for I can't hear I float along the quiet current Through the cloudy waters.
