Lonely or alone




As you can see
I am a chair.
I'm standing in a pretty neglected garden.
A human simply forgot
to put me under the roof to my siblings there.




It has become autumn.
Luckily, it is a long sunny day
and warm autumn.
Only the nights are already cooler.

? What do you mean - am I lonely or alone?

I know the difference.
It looks like I'm lonely -
but no - I am not.

I am only alone.

I have a lot of time
and there the thoughts go back a little bit.
I remember
on nice balmy summer evenings
- to people who sit around a barbecue -
Laughter - joke - sing sometimes even be quiet.
Someone is crying - another is comforting.

Now it is quiet.
You just forgot -
to put me under the roof of my siblings.

But I do not mind.
You see - I'm undemanding.
It does not matter to me.
I do not need food or drink
no thick winter clothes.

Whether it is + 30 ° C in summer -
or - 20 ° C in winter -
I do not mind.

Actually, I feel a little sorry for you.

You need so much
A warm apartment
a safe job -
- always money -
You need food and drink
warm clothing
every now and then a little pleasure.
And you need light.
Yes - I know - start now
the great Christmas markets.
Before Christmas
- as I see it -
you need a lot of light.



And now and then a mulled wine.
And how long are you looking for gifts.
Oh dear - I'm sorry for you.

I do not need pity.

I can hibernate here.
and next spring I'm just as fit as now.

Well - I would have a wish already.
If I'm only 5m further
could be in the dry with my siblings.

Moment - I think -
there is a transmission of thought.
There comes a man over.
And - what a miracle -
- he sees me -
- Look at me -
- he comes -
- and -
he turns me into my sibling
under the roof.


I want to thank him for that.
- I do not know if he realizes that -
Ah - I think so -
- He smiles at me -

And now I'm not alone anymore

:-)
