confuse yourself
it all began with
Marua
…
or whatever
…
how do you „peel“ kohlrabi?
– so
you’re probably
the type of guy
who just puts his laundry in the dishwasher next to the cups
to save water
nope
and btw,
found wifi
on the balcony.
guess
who’s sleeping on the balcony.
I was shortly thrown of track
but then again
I entered it
so we could go on.
of course, I had a plan
(I wanted one, too.)
so many
questions of importance
[are those chips in a coconut?
and another question,
are there airplanes on the bed spread?]
which I had been asked.
while I just managed to reply
„the milk gives cow“
and someone answered in return
„I’m worth 69 cents“
– I didn’t expect anything else.
well
whatever
he’ll be back in about 40 minutes
so, great
I’ll put the shoes in the oven
after that
taking a look
at the messages I received
[during the day I’m busy with greenhouse, at night I become a student]
our maths-teacher says:
„do a 100 exercises to revise every new topic we learn“
like… I ain’t got time for that.
and guys…
what shitty critters are those…
can someone tame the budgerigars for me?
#biology
biology has already been
like a bath full of tears
maths then
is the groundwater.
that’s why
filter out
our grade from the single sentence:
„thank you for the trouble you’ve taken“
that’s when
business becomes a backup
and study becomes a risk
– somehow touched me.
