Every day

Today I woke up early.
Everyone was still asleep.
I went out for some air.
Wanted to buy some bread next door.
But the bakery was still closed.
I'd have to look elsewhere.

I rode the bike.
It was cold and the streets were empty.
Just a few faces passed me by.
Faces I'd normally never see in this neighborhood.
As if I were in another reality.

The supermarket seemed closed too.
A gate kept me from entering the parking lot.

At that moment, when everything was different, still and cool
I realised that every day can be a cleaned slate.
Just forget about everything you know, forgive the ones you have to forgive,
and start with a new life.
