A fish falls asleep, this suits the ocean
The seagulls perch cheek by jowl
Side by side seagulls don’t pass through phases
They’re all the same age, the same height

Filter the soil, see with your hands
Side by side the seeds of the day
Neither before or after

Neither before or after
They founded cities one on top of the other
Wrapped them in fables.
