"Sharon is like a man
And the dawning peace is like peace
And the newsaper trumpeting it
Is like the newspaper
The teachers are like teachers,
And education is like education.
Out of the window of the bus number 5
I look at the people on the sidewalks,
Following them in my thought,
And it all confirms
They are like people,
The shoes, the bitten falafel,etc.
At the grocery,
In nervous hands
I test the potatoes
And they too, they too
Are like potatoes."
