<em>I.</em><br />
to do something for appearance’s sake<br />
in a time like this one<br />
an excellent idea<br />
that clarifies nothing<br />
everything changes<br />
between the conditions</p>
<p>you think so<br />
a nice model<br />
I know the thing<br />
in the ideal<br />
it’s an irony<br />
thoughts without aim</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<em>II.</em><br />
fifty years of effort<br />
why work<br />
after that it’s yesterday<br />
what shall we do<br />
two things are there<br />
fully understood</p>
<p>but as I said<br />
we can try<br />
to generate effects<br />
on this everything depends<br />
wherever in the world<br />
values are felt</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<em>III.</em><br />
language without error<br />
the essence of the world<br />
struggle over approach<br />
without qualities<br />
social events<br />
it’s as simple as that<p>
</p>it shows itself again and again<br />
the vitality of life<br />
to act<br />
any small thing<br />
to put to paper<br />
it lies in infinity</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<em>IV.</em><br />
so that it’s clear<br />
how unnecessary<br />
responsibility<br />
this is the key<br />
you must act<br />
even in hell<p>
</p>the world out there<br />
a gigantic circus<br />
manifestation of images<br />
the show must go on<br />
relative prosperity<br />
do you understand now</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<em>V.</em><br />
language changes<br />
to free thinking<br />
verbal and factual<br />
to really understand<br />
where the truth lies<br />
practical action</p>
<p>between subject and object<br />
we utilize every possibility<br />
a conception of the human<br />
something of soul and flesh<br />
to deem the world believable<br />
a kind of irrationality</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<em>VI.</em><br />
beyond the truth<br />
what is that after all<br />
I almost want to say<br />
that everywhere it’s about<br />
making things superfluous<br />
so as not to communicate</p>
<p>what I want to get at is<br />
it must be clear<br />
that we have desires<br />
what people always do<br />
after all a problem is only<br />
that which I don’t understand</p>
<p> </p>
