You've got me there, but

I really need to do this --


Well, you may help me!


Betrapt, ik weet het,Ertappt, ich weiß, nur,
maar dit moet nu echt even --ich muss das jetzt mal machen --
Je mag me helpen!Du kannst mir helfen!

Her shoes in her hands,

she follows me. Mama, wait --

Ze pakt haar schoentjesSchuhen in der Hand,
en loopt mij na. Mama, wacht --mir folgend. Mama, warte --
ik ga met je mee!ich komme mit dir!

Zywa The Impetuous Child
(Early spring)

Old people stiffen
They eat less and less
That's the beginning

of their end, but I want to go ahead
I crawl and waddle until I can run
and in the meantime I do magic
and grow myself taller

I am impetuous, at least
in the desires that bud
from my soul
regardless of season

There is a hungry growth blazing
in me, I eat to keep on
eating, there is so much
to reach to, I jump

and I eat, I live
