People like you and me




Last night I saw vampires
Many I saw
Hiding in the darkness
feeding, drinking, sucking

Young, old, black and white
Strong, weak, calm and excited
Shy, confident, silent and noisy

Like solitary wolves
they made their way
alone and hungry
hunting, killing, leaving

This morning, however, I saw no vampires
Had they died? Had they fled?
No, no.. they were still there

Perhaps just swimming
at the other side of the pool
or just driving me on my way to school
Perhaps shaving themselves for a another day of work
or just waiting until it is midday
Perhaps reading Shakespeare or Dostoevsky
or just getting dressed to meet the Queen

Perhaps awake, perhaps sleeping
But all making their way though the sunny day

Are they normal people pretending being vampires in the night?
Or perhaps vampires pretending being people during the day?
No, no...... no, no
Just people being people, just people
People like you, people like me
