is boredom a modern malaise
asks lily painting her toes
or the privilege of kings and queens

from days of yore..
expectation thwarted-
am i bored and don´t know it..

bored again-is it a
tunnel to be traversed
for some a curse

and others unknown
what bores you
quite interests me..

your passion
my yawn
blow on these..

ii

feet
eg..
an animal

can be..
some indeed
choose rather to die..

tommy our cat has nothing
to do-has he read the small print?
what you put in
you get out..

my father said the same to me
the flowers in my window
are my soul freed
what to do..

iii

a song
seventies kitsch
how long..

one of them
made us wonder
why

not when-
thousands of years
of civilization

three minutes to
eternity
the same name

as the clown-
god or the devil
up and down..

ii

you´re not very tolerant
lily..
the devil got in..

through a panel..
i thought i was going up
but was stationary!?

(well it happens..)
a child with teddy
in hand..

something went
wrong-lights went out
and hysterics ensued

there stood a strange
man
reciting strange words

a man called stu
it was called
so i hid..

stuck in a lift
with stu
what to say!

a title..
lily ***** her pencil
he recites his poem-

a poem within
a poem within
a poem..

love within love
within..
within a lift..

you think-think
can it get any worse
and the lights go out..

i

two characters in fiction
compare the modern day
to the medieval:

bells, says lily-chimes
any event of import
was announced by a peal

or a single knell..
and today?
telephones..

ok..what else?
-bling and excess
jewellery on eels!

?
an addiction to mythologies
-in computer games
star trek and such


love(the legend of arther)
designed to free but
enslaved by babble..!

thankgoodness
for the renaissance!
advanced by english..

ii
prior
there was no detail
no grey area

it was either
good or evil..
punishment absolute..

god or the devil
cruelty unbounded
and now..?

silence is of course
only silence
and does not bother me
one way or another

but perhaps you might
comment on my poem
or am i all alone
an opel stone..

a thumb up or
a heart or tears
(do they have that one)
or don´t bother..
