Jan Banen wrote a listening game as a poem. The motive of it is: the past is dead, although it makes sense to keep quiet for a while. It is the opinion of the son who tries to save his mother in a new life. She has been drawn by the past, hard in her judgment about her husband who let her down. The poem is shot by war violence, appropriate to the act that her husband put. He offered help to a fluent Polish woman, present between German and Russian lines during World War II. Is father dead or missing? Does he live with that woman? In Warsaw or elsewhere? The mother who told her son earlier stories before going to bed, is now a listener to her telling son. He is traveling with her, with trains who know their own course. Mother and son do not know the destination of their trip because they are not known. The journey (life) is per se valuable ... They seek, say kindness or love.
