Appearances are an art, a few strokes
form out of paint, an intimate experience
of velvet, skin and sadness
There is no better job
than feeling proximity and depth
shamelessly direct, like in bed
Appearances are deceptive, my insolvency
is just a façade, like a name
given to you in ignorance
I no longer have debts
nor money, I earn nothing
and can work without worries
So let the pious people talk
I take care of Hendrickie
and Titus, everything is theirs
