dummer Odysseus

angelockt von 
einer nebenberuflichen Sirene 
zu dumm 
um den Zweck zu begreifen 
folgte er ihr 
natürlich 
und wurde 
ein wenig von sich selbst gefressen 
zu beleidigt 
um zu denken oder zu sprechen 
paddelte er im Latrinensee 
zu dumm 
um fortzukommen 
vom Schiff 
aus riefen sie ihm zu: 
du bist selber in die Pfütze gesprungen

Trust

With conviction you tell me
untrue impossible things
I grow quite confused, there is
no choice:
I must trust you.

Do you love me?
I love your 
solicitude.
Questions asked.
Sweat
I notice
contradictions.
It seems
you don't trust me.
I know I'm right, but you 
must be.
No one believes me,
I fear

You doubt me, accuse me,
I know that                      
confict is lethal.
My wellbeing I must 
abandon.
You say that 
a good thing
is too good for me.
I can't call that brazen,
I must adjust.            
I must trust - to adjust.

Pain.
You promise palliation.
I trust
I love you.
Break it
to make me hate you.
Promise anew,
I love you anew.
Of course I trust 
no one.

Stockholm Syndrome

Who am I, you or me?
Who threatens to throttle me?
Who shoots me below the neck?
Who is killing, you or me?
Who will be killing you?
With a blade below the throat
I am saying, you are saying,
we're the best of friends.
You or I is whooing me, 
I or you embracing, she
is a fat old hag.
I embrace her nonetheless,
he -
embraces me.
Knowing well, I play along
kissing where puking
wouldn't be wrong
fearing 
that old 'love' song.

good god

not good, god isn't, 
belief isn't to be believed
just is, or isn't
