Das Licht auf der anderen Seite - The Light on the other Side 52 x 36 cm

INVITATION

I used to like people, would dream about them…mindlessly…magnificent

animals is what Nietzsche called us, and I even acquired a few of my own, kept them

around the house till, half-past dead with boredom, I had just enough strength

   left to throw them out. Like most empires at a certain stage

of their decline, I dream mainly of food, small pleasures, tiny divertimenti.

And alcohol. And the wild weed I cultivate amid corn and cucumbers. But now that

you’ve wandered in…my new friend!...let’s hang out together beneath the trellis

and eat olives and feta cheese in a cucumber salad and drink retsina and smoke from

the pipe of wisdom. Maybe I’ll give you that massage I promised in a moment

of mindless lust. Let’s talk of old times we’ve never shared

because the best parties are sometimes those that have no reason to exist…like some

poems…then I’ll switch on the boogie box…can’t imagine never dancing again. You?
