this pint spells doom
& spills it all over the
floor of some trendy bar
condemning it to eternal
seediness & squalor with
clients preferring the floor
to the casks & them to the
glasses & the corrected eye
sight to the ice cubes &
cubist art to mass produced
impressionism & this imprint
to that one pound coin being
just a bit off colour & track

do it now
do it thoroughly
do it by publicly embroidering your pillow case
do it by being unidentifiable
do it with gusto
do it by unbuttoning your uniform
do it in your lifetime
do it by night
do it by producing organic food
do it by the statue of a woman on a horse
do it by singing
do it because there's nothing better to do at the moment
do it by day
do it with pen & paper
do it in your spare time (should you have any)
do it by whatever means you deem necessary
do it by collecting 7 billion spoons & distributing them
do it on your job (should you have one)
do it with a frying-pan
do it collectively
just do it
do it by gathering & spreading knowledge
do it by unlocking doors
do it by not being caught on photographs
do it on your own
do it by asking simple questions
do it on your big whatever behind
do it with war
do it by defining yourself
do it by disregarding the powers that be
do it sitting down
do it again
do it by not understanding your native language as needed
do it by taking back the right to your eyes
do it by being a bit more you
do it standing up
do it by sacking your coach
do it by listening carefully
do it by overturning that cop car
do it at the very latest yesterday
do it while becoming a pumpkin
do it by opening windows
do it by putting beautiful obstacles in seemingly random places
do it before catching the bus
do it by removing the stripes painted on the albino donkey
do it by the waterside
do it by playing instruments you invented
do it with a contagious smile
do it on the south slope of a mountain
do it in the lifetime of your grandparents

departure berlin zentrale omnibus
bahnhof in kaiserdamm
portrait of angela merkel
empress for germany
licence plate ”bar go”
winding our way out of the greater
berlin area onto the autobahn
heading toward rostock
passing a truck from somewhere in former
yugoslavia ”natural beheadings of hens
& other beasts” on the trailer
almost at a standstill due to another
roadwork (the second
in a few short miles)
southbound truck ”we know the way” to
the next ausfahrt (or beyond?)
oh dear deer you should have
kept to the field
most petrol stations we pass
are called total
spotted 20th animal transport heading south
passing a creek called dosse
10 minute break for a smoke or other
needs at eldetal
a handful of very fully grown men
almost have time to
get into a proper fight
back on the road
lion king going south
& the bridge across
peterdorfer see is not
currently in
mint condition
pretty graffiti on a short wall
in the outskirts of a hamlet
some 70 kilometres
south of rostock
hours later in falster political/existential
graffiti ”shit does not only
come out of
your arse”
some kind of traffic jam
arrival copenhagen central station
& after some confusion
departure copenhagen to malmö
via the locally famous bridge which
he whispers
cost at least a dozen construction
workers their lives
arrival malmö södervärn
another
one
