Final Project

people run.
through their city. their village. their house. 
their flat. 
they run. 
read advisors to get 
for what they needed more 
time to get it.

they do not take this time, no.
they keep on running. seeing senseless 
series on TV 
seeing new 
scientific realizations. believing them. panicking and
keep on running.
where did we land?
our world is a tangle of roads 
and we creep along narrow pathes 
and crossroads and try
to find the right way.

scientificly seen life is impossible.
we
are impossible and actually 
we humans 
are impossible 
for our planet.
who says that we have to see 
 everything in a scientific way?
who says that we need 
advisors or TV 
or 
do we? 

i can look 
into a pond or a window or a raindrop
and see 
and realize that 
this is me. 
i  can look as well
into the water of a toilet bowl 
and see 
and realize that this is me.

why don’t we pause
a bit and watch 
ourselves for a moment 
in that  bowl? 

why don’t we pause 
a bit 
after boinking, 
laying down. seeing each other. feeling.
are we uptight? 
where are those fears coming from?

it doesn’t matter how 
those hormones work.
the feeling is important 
that is slapping me in the face 
without a warning.
that changes my shape 
into a complete handicap 
grinning for days.

LOVE creates goosebumps 
when I touch your skin. 
love creates sensitivity within.
and over all love 
protects us 
without any science: 
from the senselessness of life.
