and if I visited the sanatorium and met you there
as a visitor
a paying guest
I might say that I had come to take the air
and was not sick at all
just not feeling quite at my best
but the truth is I am riven through
and while each one of you
might shortly pack your bags and leave
I must stay on indefinitely
but this is only supposition
there is no one to meet
and no sanatorium
just the window and the city street
but my stay
it seems
remains indefinite
