Brainstorms and Synonyms

Far be it from me to criticize you
far be it from me to even have an actual opinion
reasoned and argued
established.

Nearing the validity of our claims
ever now and then,
just by a little...
one stride at the time.

Brainstorms and synonyms
let us crash-test my entire repository of convictions, doctrines and conclusions
Guesses and hints.
Chasing after a rabbit of naked truth, nitty-gritty perfection.

But for now:
I will lay in bed and think about what I should do
where I want to go
how much I need to get up again...

A World Made of Formulas and Numbers

Crowds gather
signs go up in the air
all of them with catchy phrases

In the concrete jungle
where the streets only go north, south, east or west
amidst the boring cafés

A world made of formulas and numbers 
dulling three of the five classic senses
an entire day spent in front of a rectangle

Until the crowds gather again.

A Constant Hum from the Various Computer Devices

A room in ruins
military ships sailing about
the cracking of baking rooves
THE DRY, DRY SAND

A constant hum from the various computer devices,
or tinnitus...
my feet are cold.

Until I Rot Away Like All the Others

Mouth dripping with chocolate, bread and yogurt
While the sun shines one last day
Dust and tiny particles
are more prominent than ever
A sharp pain in the neck
the taste of rot
I decay like everything else;;;
therefore I try to live while I still can.
Until I rot away like all the others.

Waiting for Time to Pass On and Be Gone

Waiting in a desolate place
while the rain pours down.
The roof is leaking.
But the little drops are being catched by a pot.

And even though the weather is gray, wet and dead
even though I'm just waiting for time to pass on and be gone
even though everything is in standstill,
the curtains are broken, ruined, useless
have been so for years...
Waiting for time to pass on and be gone.

The Hope of a World of Peace

Endless streams of information
most of which is meaningless
Like our place in time and space
be it here or there
the rain always helps us sleep

The Hope of a World of Peace
and all the other clichés that follow
for once remembered blood streams
rivers of life
being optimistic for a change.

Sometimes a Stranger's Gesture is as Welcoming as the Liquid that Enters our Bodies

Wake me up
from this nigthmare of a place
Let's just go to sleep
never wake up.

No.
You will wake up
you will have to live
wake up.
Get up.
Get out.
Have a cigarette and be a social creature.

Sometimes a stranger's gesture is as welcoming as the liquid that enters our bodies.
I believe in that.
