never had a job
never went to school
never played the hero

The doorway to Hüttenstraße 17 opens when singing the lines Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren / in einer lauen Sommernacht on the corner outside Dr. Bahnemann's dentistry at five past two in the afternoon on the first Monday of the month.

Love from Senior City
•
Nadine and Vanessa want to buy half a kilo Lyoner each
Nadine has 40 mark, Vanessa 29
Nadine lives in Merzig, Vanessa in Beckingen
It is nine thirty in the morning
Nadine is driving eastwards at 110 km/h
Vanessa is on foot
Nadine trains parakeets, Vanessa just had her nails done
There is roadwork on the A8 towards Saarlouis
The Lyoner goes for 12 mark per kilo
A goat is hauled out of a pond in Wadgassen
They both got married during the independence
They both make it
•
these our lovers / not softened by memory
waltz us from the ballrooms to the stalls /
write love letters with pinch and poke /
and smuggle them out like breath /
as if this crotch / must rub against the moon /
to catch something new /
