Each day the ox ploughs the field
The chickens peck and the dogs walk up the street sniffing
Nothing ever changes
Here even the volcano stands still
Then one day
The ox dies
The chicken is slaughtered
The dog gets sick
The volcano is burning red
The landscape charred
Everything changes
One year later....
the ox ploughs the field
The chickens peck and the dogs walk up the street sniffing
And
The same old mirror reflects
An inner smile
