Old Houses of Charlottenburg

betroth yourselves to old houses of Charlottenburg let yourselves be mollycoddled by the petrified rain king buy yourselves a shiny armour of a former seraphim call yourselves bourgeois, dear ambassadors of art prosy playwriters live futile lives full of futile effort we are the revenants of heedlessness the masses of plastic limpidness and cubists that paint no more like vortex and vertigo we're abstract in a colour gamut but I only like to whisper among the lilies of rusty minefields replacing the city with simplicity
