I used to fear sleep
but now I love it
I used to love fear
but now it bores me
Distraction is a way to be happy
Like a horse on the prairie
Run to the music of
Your own gallop
Gal up gal up Gallup up up up
The galloping ghost
Will appear in your waking moment
Drive fast,
get drunk,
stay up late
The man will give you
Lots of chances to feel
Free
Pay no attention to the man
Or the man
Behind the curtain
Or the man in the moon
Stop waiting for your man
It could be a woman
It could be a sandwich
Listen to the ghost
Fill your ears with cake and bread.
Sometimes if you just read it again
Something will come
Sometimes if you just start moving
Things start to move
Ich esse schnitzel.
Ich esse das Leben.
Ich bin nicht Schwer.
I am floating through
I’m not fighting the air
I trust it
The air is there always
Hold it
Let it hold you
(This poem was originally recited on November 9, 2014 at Kafe Kult in Munich, Germany)
