Where does the mother of twin cities live?
(Questions to the people of Burlington)
Do you live as far away from us
as we live from you? How far was it
from home to come home?
Which language does the wind speak
that sings through your oldest trees?
Or do you have less past
and more future? Less towers than sky?
Are you more Dutch than we are?
You have a park with our name,
we have one with yours. If we would exchange
our fruit would fall on your ground.
Were we further from each other or
closer to the same moon?
