Not This World, But That One

Not This World, But That One
]

I keep turning the pages of storybooks, again and again—

longing for the worlds within them, endlessly.

At this age, still yearning for a fairytale life,

still flipping through children’s books wherever I go—

it may seem a little silly, even embarrassing.

But to me, that world will remain eternally beautiful.

Born as an irreversible being,

yet constantly pretending to be reversible—

I can’t help but obsess over that soft, yielding world.

As Allen Ginsberg once said,

this place holds too much:

Too many words.

Too many philosophies.

Too much hatred.

But that other place—

it is both primitive and refined,

pure,

clear,

untainted by the murky waters of the world.

And above all—

goodness prevails, and love always wins.

Where justice unfolds as it should.

Where kindness is not a question.

Perhaps it is a utopia that exists in complete opposition

to everything on this planet.

Ruhr-Gebiet
/ Allen Ginsberg

Too much industry
too much eats
too much beer
too much cigarettes
Too much philosophy
too much thought forms

not enough rooms——
not enough trees

Too much Police
too much computers
too much hi fi
too much Pork
Too much coffee
too much smoking
under gray slate roofs
too much obedience
Too many bellies
too many business suits
too much paperwork
too many magazines
Too much industry
No fish in the Rhine
Lorelei poisoned
Too much embarrassent

Too many fatigued workers on the train
Ghost jews screamon the streetcorner

Too much old murder
too much white torture
too much one Stammheim
too many happy Nazis

Too many crazy students
Not enough farms
not enough Appletrees
Not enough nut trees
