WHY PEOPLE VOTE TRUMP
(and why De Niro hates him, he wants this only in movies)
Because
He doesn’t play by the rules.
And Russia and China
And most other people
Cannot always afford
To play by the rules.
And when money talks
And the Mafia beckons
You cannot afford
To play by the rules.

NEXT THING IN AUSTRIA
That little valley
Which is only accessible from Germany
Will hold elections
By holding up sabers
The results will be valid
For the whole country
But only if they guarantee
To vote for the chancellor
The Greens agree either way
Long Green explanations
Forthcoming
For sure

DOUBT
Every time
the director comes into our class
for inspection
our teacher always lets us
quickly sit down nicely.
No talking
eyes straight ahead.
Even now
I don‘t understand
why
we have to do this.
Why
can’t we say hello to
or embrace the director.

Jiang Xuefeng
AUCH DAS IST DER SINN DES SCHREIBENS
5 Jahre nach dem Ende der Menschen
sind alle Straßen verschwunden,
besetzt von Gräsern, Sträuchen und Bäumen.
Nach 25 Jahren
sind die Kühlrohre des letzten Wasserkraftwerks
von Schnecken und Muscheln verstopft
und die Welt wird völlig dunkel.
Die Kakerlaken haben dann in den Küchen alles Verschimmelte aufgefressen
und fangen mit Büchern und Zeitungen an.
Am Ende bleibt kein Blatt Papier auf der Welt,
kein einziges Zeichen.
Das ist auch der Sinn des Schreibens,
– den Kakerlaken noch ein paar Bücher,
noch ein paar Tage Fressen zu lassen.

这也是写作的意义
蒋雪峰
人类灭亡五年后
所有的公路都会消失
被花草树木占领
二十五年后
最后一座水电站
散热管道被贝壳塞满
世界彻底黑暗
蟑螂吃光了厨房所有腐烂的食物
开始啃报纸和书籍
大地上不会剩下一张纸
一个字
这也是写作的意义
——多几本书给蟑螂
多留几天食物

Xing Hao
MY UNCLE DOESN’T WEAR A MASK
Such a worldwide plague,
not that he’s not afraid to die,
it’s that cancer is like the cold,
the common cold in our village.
Ever since he got liver cancer,
my uncle wears his big belly
like a general
without a care in the world.

GREEN PARAKEETS
Over ten thousand green parakeets
land on a big tree,
they fly up again in a great sound
and on the tree
there are still ten thousand green parakeets
but these are its own leaves.

HIMMELSFRAGE
An einem bestimmten Tag in der Zukunft
bei der Eröffnung der Olympiade
wird es dann ein Team geben
mit einer Fahne hoch in der Luft
und einem N95 Mundschutz darauf?
