trying to live here and now - 'I don't look back much as a rule' -
tracing back the steps of my youth
cycling along what was the old tram route
and now is a park
into the city I grew up in
...
one elliptic course of the earth around the sun
equals by convention one year - down here
another elliptic course of a different world
around its own distant sun
...
I started fighting them late this year
and what with the mild winter and dry summer
they are everywhere now
the thing has gone out of hand this time
...
the bottom drawer
is this where i should hide you?
deep down there
between all the empty shells
...
'one man's lust is the other's pain' -
right, and it seems
as if there was a fixed amount
of good and bad vibrations
...
