I imagine how I am sitting here
seen from the bridge, with the dark room
behind me, from which the hand
of a ghost could loom for a moment
to give me, out of sight, a push
so that I'll be smashed, like dictators
have it done to opponents
I sometimes dream of it
that I eliminate them and their successors
to take away the repression, I
as an unknown super woman
of humanity
It should happen on a large scale
all in one fell swoop, finally an omnipotence
that nobody can escape
Yes, if that, yes if, if
