"Zwei Flaschen stehn auf einer Bank,
die eine dick, die andre schlank.
Sie möchten gerne heiraten.
Doch wer soll ihnen beiraten?
Mit ihrem Doppel-Auge leiden
sie auf zum blauen Firmament . . .
Doch niemand kommt herabgerennt
und kopuliert die beiden."
(Chr. Morgenstern in Die beiden Flaschen)

“Brown suit case in the corner:
Where have you been?
Circle around the terminal.
Hide what’s within.
What to take when I move from this place,
and what to leave behind?”
(K. More in Suitcase)

“… a chair is shaped for just one thing
to hold
a soul its quick and few bendable
hours
perhaps a king
not to hold snow
not to hold flowers”

“One little beer can be alright,
One big black beer, or maybe a lite.
Two beers down you begin to glow,
And you’ll be singing, before you know.”
