Das Gefängnis

Die Tür zum Gefängnis steht offen. Darin sitzt ein Mann auf einem Schemel. Er starrt auf die Türe.

Haut

Ich kann nicht aus meiner Haut. Sie bewegt sich mit meinen Muskeln. Mal schnell, zielstrebig, gekonnt, mal langsam, zaghaft, ungeschickt. In meinem Kopf bin ich und bewege sie, doch in deinem Kopf ist sie und bewegt mich. Du siehst meine Haut und denkst du siehst mich.

Wie viele Fehler

Wie viele Fehler verzeiht einem das Leben? der liebe Gott? die Karma-Verwaltungsbeamtin? Wie viele Fehler?

Look at all this

"Look at all this," she said, as we took in the softly-fading summer. "Life here is so good, why would the Germans want to share it with anyone else? Why would they want to share it with us? They want to keep it for themselves."

Interlude: Is it time?

Once more the cloudy curtains open for the summer sun that not only warms the believers and elevates

Why doesn't it just work? - On abstractions

Do you know how your car works? Or your computer? How the food you buy in the supermarket was produced? Granted that the world is growing ever more complex, how can we still survive when we're clearly not able to see the entire picture our life amasses?

What is real?

is it the urge to feel the need to shiver a desire to leap across the river the bottomless hole of trust without doubt into a soul to revolve around or is it the question that asks for a point afraid that the reasons lie in the void the voice
