Astro Boy
 
I saw you get out of the car and asked myself,
who is that?
You saw me sitting on the steps and asked yourself,
who is that?
 
We caterpillars, spinning . . . 
 
I never learned your language.
You never learned my language.
 
And yet,
like two deer on the path,
I feel your nearness.
Like two dear on the path,
you feel my nearness,
 
even now.
