WHAT IF

get up
suit up
leave the house
drive

coffee
to go
everyday
the same

get in
sit down
numbers and scales
break

smalltalk
fake smiles
get back to work
and then sometimes he starts to think

„what if I moved on
and left this town?
would I get lost out there?
would I arrive?“

lunchtime
get out
walk down the street
alone

faces
places
nothing he seems
to know

start over
finish
decaf to go
home

empty
silent
get out again
drink, so he won’t have to think

„what if I moved on
and left this town?
would I get lost out there?
would I arrive?

what if I stayed here?
what if I changed?
would I belong at last?
or still feel wrong?“
