Another lidless night has gone,
so no sick joke but bad rhyme this dawn.

Running competition at the hospital


My roomy and me will hold a 100 meters race tomorrow morning.

We hope to be back before dark.

Half-time


If life's a game, then this hospital stay must be half-time...

I wonder what the second half will bring.

To you, my dear friends


I surrender
to whatever my destination turns out to be
I surrender
because I know that I am surrounded
I surrender
to you, my dear friends
I surrender
in your warm shelter I will be healed.

I now have them in the hospital.

My shrunken world


Less and less matters
nothing is self-evidently anymore
sleeping, waking, walking, talking, thinking, writing
it'll come back
I just have to be patient.

Time flies

The theory of General Relativity revised


Already over a month of physical discomfort...
Incredible how time flies when having a good time.

Stop wailing you whiner


Stop being a putz
your behaviour is pathetic
get energetic
and screw up your guts.

Selichot (to my kids)


I am sorry for being such a moody father
I am sorry for my problems in your lives
I am sorry not being able to give you a better start
I wish it was otherwise
I am so very sorry

This time, in my yearly parley with God, I'm going to confront him with his attitude towards me; and he'd better have a bloody good excuse!

Moody Moose blues


Nights incite aching,
Never reaching an end,
Spasms I’m gettin',
They never seem to mend.

Sleep I moreover missed
like the days before,
Just what relieve is
I can’t say anymore.

Causing insomnia,
Yes, insomnia,
Oh, oh, insomnia.





Freely rendered from "Nights in white satin" by the Moody Blues.
