Ohne Körper an die frische Luft
switchen in den Baum, von dem ich träume
in die Luft gehen, mich in Partikel auflösen
voneinander getrennt durchs Quartier, aus der Stadt floaten
mich anders zusammensetzen

Alles abweisen
Goretex, Supershield, Perleffekt
Biblio-Abo lösen
Identität ausleihen, auf die ich B habe

Ohne chillen
auf einer weichen Wartebank
an einem unverortbaren Ort

Translated into Italian by Angèle Cartier

Senza corpo all’aria aperta
Switchare tra gli alberi dei miei sogni
lasciarmi trasportare, in particelle dissolvermi
dagli altri separarmi attraverso i quartieri
galleggiare sopra la città
altrimenti riunirmi

tutto rifiutare
Goretex, Supershield, Pearl effect
cancellare l’abbo alla biblio
prendere in prestito un’identità, quella che mi piace

Senza chillare
su una panca accogliente aspettare un luogo irrintracciabile
