The sound is flawless:
Remade, restored, fixed
Glued onto a well-known face:
It has become real by now.
The miracle of life
Is a collage of distorted features:
They flow impeccably into our minds.
Your eyes, my eyes: lost.
Convinced. Alone.
Every story slides into a new fairytale:
Who knows
Which person we are talking to
Which speeches we are imagining.
Our new reality steps in
Like a shadow:
In the midst of yells
I can’t make out a single sound.
