I wish there was another planet,
another reality.
I wish my skin colour
was not as mediocre as transparent
as its now perhaps
a bit darker or lighter
I wish I had no nationality
geographic or legal status
I wish I had no language
So no need for defending or dishonoring
And I wish so much that
you were blind, deaf and mute
So that you could hold
My transparent, unbound silent hand
and talk into infinity
