Schmutziges Wort

Ich treff meinen Freund
denke gierig:
Freund
und habe mich schon verloren
vollgesogen mit:
Freund

A hard time at the ticket office

I just want to go home
without money, raise a credit
go home
buy a ticket
from the gatekeeper
go by bus to the subway 
the motorway
she requires a foto to issue a ticket but 
I have only school fotos 
where I look too young
and bad
no:
I'll go direct to the main train station
by bus, dodge the fare but
she asks me for a map of my destination
because she doesn't believe that 
I know where I'm going
leafing
through an atlas full of 
Germany, I say: 
direct to the main train station

she asks where I live
she knows about my home
hilariously

Pricked 

When I went into the video store
and the girl said two fifty, I said: 
But I've already paid!
Yes, for yesterday.
But, do you mean 
that one has to return it on the same day?
Yes, she said, and added that her colleague told me of course.
He told me nothing!
Yes, he told me of course.
But you weren't even there!
I had started to shout, but
she knew her colleague, he told me of course.
He told me nothing! And a speck of foam
from my lips
settled on her bust, the shelves reeled
and my hand came 
- while with strange clarity 
I saw a great horn 
ramming her body through -
down on the counter
with a magnificent slap.
You needn't spit at me.
It wasn't intentional!,
I bellowed.

Vor Angst suche ich nach Orten 
und Personen die Sicherheit versprechen
aber sie sind unzuverlässig
deshalb suche ich nach Verträgen
mit Institutionen
die gegen Bezahlung Sicherheit versprechen
aber die Angestellten weisen mich zurück
und je mehr sie über mich wissen
desto eher sind sie die Verbrecher
und die Verträge sind so teuer 
dass ich mit der Zeit auch alles verliere

zur Kinderzeit

mit Beilen behauenes Brüllen
in Wiegen sanftes Lullen
mit Feilen zerriebenes Wollen
in Kannen gegossenes Sollen
in Pfannen gebratenes Fett
unter Tannenbäumen stinkende Fröhlichkeit
