My days as a Frankfurter

I lay here in my little house
on Egenolffstrasse
near the northern cemetery.
normally you go in the south for the dead
but here is the death in the north.
seeking friends daily
on the streets, the corners
on the trains, in the basements
making friends is a monstrous difficulty...
joy also, but not as often
I drink too many Pils every night
at the Paulaner pub,
looking for linguistical entertainment
just something simple...a sweet morsel
at tortoise velocity.
Alas is my German too weak
I can not give my soul freedom in discussion
I am phantom
I am alone
no answers.. no empathy..
But yet!! I am in love with this wonderful language.
this language, this treasure
I love my naked full immersion
into this language
and in the solitude of this immersion
there is untold value, untold joys,
joys that come easier then making friends..
tomorrow I'm on my way, to Kronberg Forest swimpool!
I heard that one can swim there and enjoy the sun
and watch beautiful far away ladies get tan lines.
It's Taunaus direction, where I discovered Gluwein,
long ago...
With a girl from Tunisia....
you Frankfurter, you're a lucky guy.
i'm Jealous, of course
you've been to
my true
Machu
Picchu
Paradies...
And yet I remain
all time ready,
each activity.
