My room
















You are
habituated to my room
Why only for you
it is for me as well

Why do rooms
socialize with us
No we socialize
with the rooms
We are all
room dwellers
Within the room we all
get air
Lying sinked
crawl and play
Within the room
lives a water pot
a stove that serves food
a lot of papers
see there a lizard on the room corner
Danger says
the pointing finger
flying man
monkey man flying man
showing big tits
the big princess
stonewalls
beneath the limestones
we are fashionable cavemen
With the pen of bone
we are stonemen
roaming around
With this the old stories with which
we fool us
We are intelligent
sowing seeds on paper
and ploughing intellectuals

For revolution
we are the middle class
that wait and yawn

With bravery
lifting our chests
we are the intelligent pigs
scratching our backs

First let us abolish
our intelligence
and stand naked
on the the waving water-shore
