Hello world!

To make the one world in which we live
most comfortable
with a glass wall we have divided it
into the zones

Every advance, of course,
has its drawbacks.
If, for instance, one feels
like having a good bath
one now has to cross over
into the other world
to get the soap

All the same,
each one of us can boast
of a two-world apartment
(furnished in different styles,
it goes without saying)
with a communal sun, for the moment
and separate access
to earth.
