Neighbours at my door
They are as different as
their names and each of us
knows how far he will go
in being helpful

There is no hugging
We make no mistakes with that
We are replaceable, we
don't want to be stuck and
free ourselves from expectations

We keep nearby far from us
We rather love our own kind
of solitude and practise
patience with ourselves
than trust and love

for the strangers
who live next to us
We seek salvation
and we seek it higher up
in irreplaceability
