There’s a clue
I don’t know where to find it
Even if I try to trans-
late and bend the sentences
in the very same
way that
you went when you ex-
pressed it
Thought I’d learned
not take it to proportions
where I gamble confirmat-
ion for truth; galloping hoof is
spinning faster
neither forth nor back
but it makes base quake
So far I can’t say
I know you well enough
to be this stunned by
who you are instead by
distinguishments seen through
lifestyle
but I am more
afraid than I’m flattered
how could this be that you
went home with me
First of all; you’re almost pathetically older than me,
you have a decent career and a marvellous perspective to all these
traps which make people take themselves way too seriously,
what are my chances? but
It’s absurd
I am heading for the south now
I was forced to make up a
friend of mine as source of lie
to obscure the fact
that this act
had no mature
excuse
Though except
for that night
there has been no
juncture IRL to tell if
hope is due
or if you’re cruel
only killing time
like you use to
Calm down
Calm down
Can’t believe
that you invite me for dinner
is this common at your age?
I thought that was step ahead but
I just realized
there’s no place
to stay the night
let’s hope for
’deus ex machina’
So far I can say
we necked twenty hours
and time to time it
seemed like you were nervous
but still I wait four days
for another mail
and I am more
afraid than I’m flattered
Only thing sure; now there’s no
turning back
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
