gelsenkirchen

eine alte frau ein gehgestell
straßenrand und blanke taube
da rollt das gehgestell mal hin die alte frau
und mit dem schuh der schlecht zu fuß
wird da mal drangegangen
mal so nach links gewälzt
und angetippt mal so nach rechts
der hohle vogel und schon
fliegen drin
ach so!
kaputt
na wirklich nicht
über die brücke da rast dieser zug
und dann?
