The Train

An unknown African poet.

(Translated by Gerhard Kubik)


The train
Carries everybody
Everywhere.

It carries the men
It carries the women.
It carries me too
A blind boy.

Wherever it carries me
Alas, I met distress
And knock against it
With my knee.

It carries the men
It carries the women.
It carries the blind boy
To his distress.
