What are we doing here? I remember every little way Of you and how and what you said Brighter than all stars combined Brighter than all the candles of all times R I'm torn between to keep what we have And tearing down the walls With one finger you lay your hair by your ear What are we doing here? At work we talk often and too long We laugh too loud, you twist your tongue After a laugh that we have shared During a silence just as The glass of wine by the candle And I'm not sure if I can handle Another smile of yours Another text message past two

Come pick me up Come pick me up Dad & Mum Asap Written with a blue highlighter On the bottom half of the window Where the girl must have sat And a Shame On You right beside Smaller almost half the size of The original message Shame On You

The Brickwall There used to be a brickwall At the entrance of our park But the City tore it down And replaced it with sod Because the homeless huddled there During the long winter Close together under blankets To avoid the windchill There used to be a brickwall Long and high against the dark Winter days and winter nights Giving shelter left and right The city thought the poor would go But instead they became more More drugs are used against the cold Society the young and old There used to be a brickwall At the entrance of our park But the City tore it down And replaced it with sod

Die Langeweile heute unterscheidet sich nicht von der als wir Kinder waren Als Kinder haben wir immer gespielt Wie wir sterben koennten Vor allem erschossen werden Wie unsere Helden in den Western Nachmittage nach der Schule konnten wir damit verbringen Uns gegenseitig umzubringen An einem guten Tag starb jeder von uns 300 mal Bei Kopfschuss war alles aus Ins Herz das gleiche Spiel Krasser war ein Rueckenschuss Wegen dem Waelzen am Boden Vergas man zu roecheln bei einem Halsdurchschuss War man nochmal dran Der Bauchschuss war ein Hoehepunkt bei dem man Langsam auf die Knie sank An einem sonnigen Nachmittag Versuchten wir es Eine Stunde Zwei Stunden Drei Stunden Mit verwesen Aber das fanden wir langweilig
