cobblestones glittered in the yellow light of sodium lamps
and ruthless cars carried people
as if it was the most important thing in the world
suddenly a long forgotten dream filled my mind
a dream of a big strong man with sure hands
driving his huge long-nosed truck through a dark night
across all the continents
one thing was strange about the dream: the unknown world started right behind the door
and stretched to infinity
now the world is somehow smaller
and so are possibilities
