ABOUT HORST JANSSEN / By Storytelling Poem by Claudia Gabler

By Storytelling
I don't want nothing to do with Knut!
Y‘know, y‘know:
- -
'With a head full of hormones'
you should, according to K., construct toy landscapes
or buildings in keeping with B.'s plans (B as in art) (?)
- -
Oh, it doesn't matter: but the goodwill disappears with that style!
The picture has to bend toward the brain,
gaping chasms, light reflexes. Of course,
- -
of course, of course and later:
orgashas ‘em. Hasta be, y‘know: without eruption
you can't get no plume pumped out of the mother.
- -
So become friends with Knut?
Nah,
let's fight a little longer instead!
