Mostly between Zoo,
Potsdam Station, Molkenmarkt,
the Kaiser and the Spanish ‘flu,
events and tailoring,
a dead face on the pillows, October,
all there is to know about bedbugs,
all there is about Albert the waiter, the sad
trips out into the countryside, the missing
connections even then,
the childhood hours in front of the sink,
all the nouns, influenza,
Otto der Schütz, the Kaiser, everything
between Holzmarktstrasse and
Landwehrkanal, November.
