You would think
that watching two generations
grow old
prepares you
for your own old age.
But seeing her face
when she notices the food stain
that has been on her shirt
since breakfast
you realize
it doesn’t.

A tale of two apples
some time ago I bought two apples
one I ate the same day
it tasted like cardboard (and not at all like an apple!)
The second one I put in my bag
not wanting to throw it away
because it’s food, right?
It’s been lying in my office for weeks now
growing older and older
while I’m waiting for it to rot
Today I finally put it in the trash
and got a new one immediately.

I proudly present the result of my very first cooperation with the awesome Liefka from Längs! Her words, my drawings. Voilà:
Hamburg…
in dir werde ich altern.
Denn hier brauche ich keine Feuchtigkeitscreme gegen Falten.
Nein,
hier stelle ich mich einfach auf die Straße, wenn das Gesicht mal wieder spannt.

English version:
Hamburg,
this is where I’ll grow old.
Because here I don’t need moisturizer to prevent wrinkles.
No,
here I just walk the streets when my face becomes too tense.
