Finally I thank my parents
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything I ever learned
came from my parents’ mistakes
the solutions of one generation
are the problems of the next
Whatever they did to help me
was against my nature
Swimming against the waves
I learned where my future was
I shouted and cried until I silenced
and there I could see my angels
helping me to get through
It happened in dreams where
funny films were screened before me
waking me up, my laughs from nowhere.
