Comment Poem by Ernst Jandl

Comment



That never
would he write
his autobiography

because his life
seemed to him
just so much filth

that only a few
points, bloody ones
he still remembers

but that he would
never hesitate
to reach into the filth

to pull out
what perhaps
could serve as stuff

for poetry
his disgusting
purpose in life
