All I can afford
Is a small scale metaphysics
Enough to run a rented apartment
With borrowerd Wi-Fi - in order
To watch a faraway war
Or book maintenance appointments
A small enough metaphysics
To invite an angel or two over
& cook them hot water
In exchange of divine secrets
A small en epistemology
To go with it
So I can read cookbooks
& cartoons about Spinoza
Or few haikus


My son taught me to eat cheese pizza
I do and think that
Airports are erotic entities
And words will stay words
Despite poetry
And while at it
Stories too don't end
They only get interrupted by death
Then continue...


The dust is part of the city
And of love
It is scattered over a drawing
Describing an eventual death
I am succumbing to the density of stairs
Until i am tired enough
To accept that the heat 
And the sleeping around
To matter
Or to mean 
As if the The DADAists taught us nothing
As if thet just abandoned their bicycles and collages
And we said nothing in return
We really said nothing in return


Death happens to others
Meanwhile we fly everywhere 
To praise its effects
Like a nomad
I am sure
Cairo is an abstraction
Despite its existence 
To amuse us about tears


the gestures of the world 
are enough
everything here is exact
as if God never left
and as if there is time


don't date him
& sit here with me
to discuss the employability of clouds
we can also pick apples
& drive around without kissing
did you know that we can turn our phones into flashlights
and interrogate each other
it can be fun 
to be inspired by the world
but to improve the situation
there is only one way: fucking
which comes as a surprise to most passengers
in the space station


software dumps itself
on our skulls, in beautiful hexadecimals
I mean: the world is garbage
there is nothing better than aging
which is helpful to imagine
since childhood repaints itself in mp3's 
it taunts us 
as we take a vow of silence 
and let the prosecutors finish their tea
