I have read this several times, Paul, and find it disturbing & hard to pin
down, provocative & hypnotic ~ it affects me as a sort of post-surrealist
mundane art nightmare; the crescendo of the first 3 stanzas is particularly
effective. >Nietzsche is dying/Achilles is born" is immediately self-evident
(to me) without my knowing exactly why. It seems to me a very original
accretion of disparate elements, which interact in an almost fugal way
towards the end.

quote jobby #8
BUT IT WILL never be
understood what yesterday
was like
we improve the morning
with the rising when we
begin to sleep
the going-down no longer
belongs to us we will
wake up the way
it will end up today
and where the shadows
lay
we enter dreams
and whether dreams stand
where we
lie written who
ever reads this
Paul Wühr circa 1985
