Zhang Wenkang
MONKEY KING
More than half of the kinky underwear
in China is produced in Guanyun county.
This boy
writes his homework
every afternoon
next to his mother’s sewing machine.
In the split
between math
and Chinese
he helps his mum to carry boxes of
split-bottom lace panties.

Zhang Xiaoyun
KINDERARBEIT
In Luang Prabang im Menghe-Hotel abgestiegen,
dann Abendessen im Sichuan-Laden.
Kellner sind hautsächlich Teenagerinnen.
Die Chefin aus Yibing erklärt:
In Laos gibt es überhaupt keine Altersbeschränkung,
also sei das keine
Kinderarbeit.

evangelisch
ist so minderheit in österreich
dass man/frau/kind

POSTCARD
We are in Bakio.
Life is perfect.
Life is precarious, as everywhere.
Life is perfect.
Waves.
Special climate.
Not too hot.
We came to Bilbao
from Barcelona.
In this region, too
history means
resistance and independence.
Bakio has a new leftist mayor.
Bakio is a mid-sized town.
Summer houses.
Summer apartments.
Some things all year.
Bigger waves in winter.
The sea claims back
the old beachline.
Life is perfect.
The church of San Juan
up on that rock not very far
two hours on foot
less if you hurry
is in Game of Thrones.
Only there it’s a palace.
See you soon!

MONA LISA
the smiling one
is well protected
she hangs forever
in a brand-new prison
supported by Nippon Television
visited daily
by millions of people
all of them mortal
no-one cares if they smile
except some of them
for a very short while
