Miscommunication

“Feel like talking to somebody but I just don’t know who
Well, I’m tryin’ to get closer but I’m still a million miles from you”

“Es war einmal eine Maus
Die war einmal nicht zu Haus
Da fischte des Königs Koch
Eine Nuß aus ihrem Loch
Er fischte sie heraus
Und machte für das Schloßpersonal
Ein Mittagessen draus.”

(B. Brecht in Tierverse)

“When things go wrong as they sometimes will
And the road you travel seems all of hate
But never look down, always look up
It’s always darkest before dawn”

(Mahalia Jackson in Always look up)

The talking wall

“I see nothing to be gained by any explanation
There are no words that need to be said
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Blues wrapped around my head”

(Bob Dylan in Standing in the doorway)

Dreams on a wall

"And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose slowly, slowly,
Dimming,
Hiding,
The light of my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky,
The wall."

(J.M. Langston Hughes in As I grew older)
Amay-Ombret (B)
