MIRAGES IN FRONT OF THE WALL
BLONDIE, THAT NIGHT YOU WERE AT THE ZOO TOO
YOU HAD TO PEEL OFF THE WALLPAPER
AND STRAIGHTEN IT UP,
BUT MY HEAD WAS CHANGING COLOUR
UNDER THE SCREAMING OF THE SLEEPY MONKEYS

THE FIRST WIG WAS YELLOW
LIKE A PLAIT HANGING BY THE SUN OF THE DAY BEFORE.
IN THE CAGE, YOU ALSO SAW THEM, THERE WERE THE FROGS, SQUELCHY SENTINELS OF A PARALLEL DOMAIN.
BLONDIE, IT'S ALWAYS TIME TO LOOK INSIDE
THE TROUSERS.

THE SECOND WIG WAS GREEN,
LIKE THE CUTS IN THE NEW JACKET.
IN THE CAGE THERE WERE THE PARROTS
AND A PARACHUTE.
PARACHUTE: FOR WANDERING FOSSILS.
BLONDIE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN JUMPING IN THE PUDDLES WITH SOMEONE ELSE SHOES.

You sat down to close your coat
and you seemed to have your feet in the fire

THE THIRD WIG WAS BLUE,
LIKE THE ECHO THAT FILLS THE SPACE.
IN THE CAGE THE SNAKES LACED UP:
THEY WEREN'T TIES,
BUY YOU REALLY BELIEVED.
BLONDIE, YOU WERE WAITING WITH THOSE PEARL TEETH BITING THAT BLACK
NAIL'S POLISH.

THE FOURTH WIG WAS RED,
LIKE THE GUARDIAN ONCE AGAIN LATE.
IN THE CAGE THERE WERE THE BEARS
WASHING EACH OTHER EARS.
BLONDIE, TIERGARTEN ALLEYS WERE DICE COVERED.
YOU PICKED UP TWO.

I FOLLOWED YOU WITHOUT MY HAIR,
LIKE A SMOKE CHAMELEON,
BUT YOU DIDN'T TURN.
I WANTED TO TELL YOU ABOUT A HOLE
ON YOUR LEFT SHOULDER.
YOU BLED WORDS, YOU HAVE RUN OUT OF THEM, YOU WERE LEAVING TRACKS,
THEY WOULD HAVE FOLLOWED YOU.
JUST IN TIME:
BLONDIE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT CAGE...
YOU OPENED THE LAST ONE.
THE WALL FALLEN DOWN.
FISHES WERE EVERYWHERE.
