Poster [English translation]

Sitting with your hands clasped

on a cold subway bench

you're waiting for the 7.30

wrapped up in your coat

some guy is carefully reading the instructions

on the coffee vending machine

and a child scoffs a puff pastry

And the clock on the wall

has been stuck at ten minutes past one for two years now

and the stations name

is half destroyed by humidity

A poster which some one has already graffitied says "come to Tunisia"

there is a velvet sea and a palm tree

and you who dreams of running away...

Of going far far far

far away

And from a transistor radio

comes the sound of a jazz band

and an old man with glasses as thick as a finger

searches for the answers to a quiz

Two Ladies are talking

with their arms full of Upim bags

and a newspaper is open

on the film pages

And on these platforms how much life has passed this way

and how much more will pass

and two youngsters tightly embracing

exchanging vows for eternity

A man complains loudly about the government and the police

and you who still dream

always dream dreams of running away

Of going far far

of going far away

You are here waiting for the 7.30

wrapped up in your coat

sitting on a cold subway bench
