Change

Guten nacht, Guten Tag!
Ich habe lang geschlafen....
These are now the things
I hear most often,

The questions have changed
The time is now wrong
What they sing here
Is not my regualar song

Night is now day
Goodbye is now tschüss
The road I now travel
Is not longer spruce

The tounge is twisted
The words are misunderstood
What is valued there,
Here is not good

My life is changing
I now must find me
There are no limits here
of who I can be

I am now the different
in the regualar society
my vocabulary must be altered
diminishing words like propriety

My normal world
hand only a first person view
Now I have to see
What is viewed by you.
