we regard ourselves still so superior
doing sometimes stuff we would never
even plan to do if asked in advance
for instance i would have never ever
imagined recording a message
dismissing it before having sent it
would never have chosen to cry after
having experienced the friendlyness
of helpers at a special waste dump
would not dream of picking up
waste of someone else's dog on the street
or watch people collecting bottles
would have definitely never believed
one could not just stop wasting time
with games on mobiles or e-mails or else
how we have changed for the better
or for the worse no one can tell
surely not as much as our stories
threads have been newly defined too lately
so have clouds and mice and lots more
but considerably rather badly
regarding all this we might actually be
in desperate need of a t-shirt each one of us
saying there is need to talk after all
