Where I come from, what my name is, who I
Look like, who I take after
What they promised me, what
Grabbed me, what swept me along
What I’ve seen, what
I’ve been, what I’ve learned
Who I’ve met, what I’ve
Been through, what I know
What I can do, what I know well,
What I do, what I say, what I think to myself
What’s deep within me, what
Makes me different, what’s on my mind
What I’ve brought upon myself, what I’ve
saddled myself with, what they did to me
How I begin something, what is
My business, what matters to me
What I accept responsibility for
What I pinch and scrape for
But what I was I am no more, what I
Am I won’t remain, what I’d like to be
I’m not yet. Och –
What do I know?

I’m on the front step beside the shoe-scraper.
My father’s putting on the winter tyres.
I don’t want to go to where I’m from right now.
I don’t want to go where I want to go to, either.
The best thing would be to lend a hand
and help put the tyres on. I remain
sitting there just, though, and keep my mouth shut.
And watch, not knowing what I want.
Look – that’s the tyres on already.
My father waves, I drive off.
