YOUNG LOVE

She is 16 years

and has a date.

She is wearing

thin, thin stocking

and a miniskirt.

The sky-high heels

give glad noise to the paving-stones

when she hurries to her lover.

She can't live

without him -

not a day -

not an hour -

she believes.

In this moment

she owns

the whole world.
