Lunch Lady
is a good title
for a novel
or a game
or a poem
or a website
or an escort girl
or it is just a snide remark
about the security expert for combat
tanks, militating like a machine gun against some peace pals

You were looking for a home, you whispered to me
You opened another door
And again I found myself in the crosshairs

Agnes likes Animals like Agnus
Agnes likes animals like Agnus:
A selection of delightful and tender animals
horses making love or oxen courting cows
in the middle of a cave
she can imagine
the raving cravings of a couple of bats –
Yet, what is it like to be a bat or a rat or a cat
outside Agnes´s chat in a universe that ´s flat?

Terra
Over me: my star.
Next to me: my moon.
Both are not too far.
This is such a boon.
I am full of life.
Every spot abloom.
Flora, Fauna strive
lively everywhere,
magically thrive:
Plants, so green and fair.
Gorgeous, my décor.
Wildlife billionaire.
In the air, ashore,
in the deepest sea.
Here and there still more.
Every piece of me:
Perfectly arranged.
Then the end of glee:
Homo sapiens appears
and everything does change.
The dawn of a new age.
He talks. Reflects. He makes.
The human, oh, this sage!
He hates. He fights. He takes.
He spills much blood.
He causes many aches.
I don’t feel fine. Used up.
I’m scarred and soaked in sweat
because it’s way too hot.
Oh, human, see the threat!
I’m Terra. What are you?
A „Terran“! Don’t forget:
The consequence, it’s true:
If I should meet my death,
then you will do so too.

Cogito ego, ergo sum
René Descartes
Braving the Raving
These proto-apocalyptical days lie idle,
unbridled like a crying baby in a cradle,
breathing in and breathing out
the hustle and bussle of the tussle of time,
shock-rocked in the arrhythmic swing
of news breaking lose in incursions invasions penetrations,
humming gumming news like sing along songs,
flooding the mind in ever sharper throngs,
frying dying lies, slicing all dice,
cramming the days with the clatters of ting-a-ling-a-ling
B U T
in the cradle of mulling and thinking it twice
I´m becoming all ears and all eyes,
braving the raving

Themis is Watching
Oracle say do not believe in ousouria
Oracle say it´s just okay, it´s smoke in the mirrors
Oracle say you´ll never know if ousia will be
whether Themis isn´t watching
new markets pop up
overnight, when the fight just has started
among droning doves, an early morning saw hawk
rise high
whole continents below lay bellowing, spread legs
watched bestmen abuse the brittle bride
while Pandora outside lost her beauty bag
no hope to ever recover the stuff
