we only have two cats now
over the years
we must have had thirty!
now, we are too old..

they are a lot of work
it is a myth
their independence, i mean..
no doubt

she will conceal another
under her jumper
with an ominous smile-say,
look what i found..

don´t look surprised
it´s a two way mirror
truth and lies
a perfect reflection eh..

burger and fries-
it´s all there
o my-my..
what a pair..

don´t look surprised
you knew all along
they were lies
some rancid song

full of the old cry
some lost throng
some smiles
like king kong..

don´t look surprised!
the sands slide away
and i am five at the
sea-side..

and still the undertow
threatens..
while o you are young
i am old..

the silly things no longer
bother me-(success)
their superiority is natural
and i enjoy all things
natural..

my cap sits squarely in
my hand-
not for a penny,lily..
the sand slide away..

what is success, lily?
i think to enjoy
spiritually or
material gain-say

there are no rules..
i mean, the collie or
abstention or just football
too dostoevski..

an open mind-little
birds, cause every man
is born as many men
and dies as a single one..

i´m afraid of failure
i sent a poem off to  the
how is your father-
it took them six months to answer-

with a single line-
(they were busy..)
don´t call us-
we will call you-it said-i
had forgotten..

i picked up my things
and headed for the door
malicious eyes everwhere..
picked up my automatic
and hit the street..
