On the Way to Bad Salzuflen

I have met a thousand bicyclists
a thousand birds
a thousand flowers trees and bushes
I have heard a thousand stories
on the way to Bad Salzuflen

sitting in the square
drinking my beer
feeling like a teenager
in the sea of older people
seeking a cure

I have met a thousand people
on the way to Bad Salzuflen
all of them were me
and I them
and we the Buddha
on the way to Bad Salzuflen
