Traveling, Mister Today watches the clouds.
While literature is being eaten by ants,
he springs, springing for the sky,
because something human has stirred in him.
On his bones, flayed skin hangs in a bird-like manner.
Between his ribs a draught whirls,
and from his left ear an apricot-lily sprouts forth.
A strange runner-bird, you could say,
and be absolutely right.
Mister Today is a strange bird.
