The Tightrope Walker
Between the rooftops of two worlds
The tightrope walker on a wire
today is the train
never to arrive
to its destination
there are some strange moments
when the darkness of the mind
it gives you obscure things
places haunted by bad luck
where the waiting room is always empty
he used to see the safety net
as an intertwining of knots
leading to so many directions
each direction with its own destiny
turn that way
or the other
between the rooftops of two worlds
this is how he saw it on that final day
the one acting as a tightrope walker
and the one everybody knew
and named as a clown
