You are all-powerful, you are a giant.
No mother gave you birth.
Every street is too narrow for you.
You pull back your shoulders, burn holes with your eyes.
Everyone gets out of your way.
The beggar’s wealth, a dish full of small coins,
you spilled on the sidewalk – damn you!
If someone were to bring nails to a human body
you’d be the one swinging the hammer,
ripping out the flesh with pliers.
Today you are here among us,
tomorrow you’ll be somewhere else.
