THERE IS EMPTINESS IN ALL OF US
YOU CAN HEAR THEM
TALKING ABOUT PASSION
DISGUSTING PROFESSIONS
BUT REALLY –
FEELING NOTHING BUT EMPTINESS

YOU CAN SEE THEM
NO HUNGRY MEN EATING CONTINUALLY –
CAUSE IT’S MEANT TO BE
MEANT TO TASTE
MEANT TO FILL

BODIES.FACES.LIPS.FEED.
PICTURED AND POSTED –
MEANING NOTHING BUT EMPTINESS

I SAY „I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE THAT”
AND YOU TELL YOURSELF THE SAMEE, MAYBE

WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IS THAT
LIFE IS FILLED IN AN EMPTY BOTTLE OF WINE, FOR ALL OF US
NO MATTER HOW YOU TWIST IT, IT WON’T CHANGE IT’S PATTERN
MAYBE IT SHOWS YOU SOMETHING, MAYBE NOT
TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
EMPTINESS IS IN ALL OF US.
