中国大好き

THE EVENING AFTER THE VOTE

we were happy.
we were relieved.
we were very, very, very,
verily glad.
we were exhausted.
we ate.
we drank.
the ex-neo-nazi
got to rave once more on tv:
the anti-fascist candidate’s fans
had called the ex-neonazi’s candidate
a nazi!
the neo-nazis’ hopeful himself
now twice defeated
wants to run again in six years.
today it is
the day after.
best wishes for austria!

AM ABEND DANACH

wir waren froh
wir waren erleichtert
wir waren sehr, sehr, sehr,
sehr, sehr sehr froh.
wir waren erschöpft.
wir haben gegessen.
wir haben getrunken.
der ex-neonazi
durfte sich auch noch im fernsehen aufregen
dass man seinen mann
einen nazi genannt hat.
der junge mann selbst
will noch einmal antreten.
heute ist erst mal
der tag danach.
alles gute!
