I know you know

/, Blesok no. 75/I know you know

I know you know

Pause
That"s us brothers
Butcher
Just rain, buy the rain
I have deserted the poet
Chet Baker finds me
Wondrous people
Nina Simone
Close your eyes to not see the flags
The Hands of Victor Jara

I’m someone else while I scream this
I’m someone else
and my thoughts need to be read
because of the helpless stars
and it’s raining
everything’s fading
everything’s washed out again
no one but you and I
standing in the rain
no one exists
nothing
nowhere
no one
just rain
standing in my new shoes
of a million dollar hotel
standing in the puddle facing the sky
I’m someone else and I scream
scream
just you and I in the rain
picture me like that I know you can
because I know
one of us will welcome a perfect day
a day for a park dinner and a cafe breakfast
maybe crapes and a cappuccino
or
just a glass of warm milk
picture a fresh morning
for which you didn’t have to wake up
because you didn’t go to sleep
picture yourself happy because you have such a morning
to take someone to breakfast
and picture
I’m allowed to hug you when you are sad
an endless hug
to fill in the emptiness
picture you noticing me first
and now you feel all that I do
wouldn’t you
just stand in the puddle waiting to spot me
in those clouds
picture that a perfect day exists
and promise
you won’t be looking for me
