Spanish Melons/Spanske meloner

 

Spanish Melons

Fumbling my radio on a new moon night I accidentally delete all the preset stations. "All" is a big word; I live in Denmark and we ain't got that many to choose from. Besides, I get more and more picky with music as I age. At least with the stuff the radio stations play. If it's not stupid, flat, mass-produced pop crap, it's stupid unmusical and monotonous rap or a narrow-minded choice of classical ... At least the jazz station gives me some joy once in a while.

dressed for spring

I finally get my faves punched in again and go for a piss. On the way back to bed I decide to watch 8 1/2 instead. Fellini might give me better dreams.

I play my worn
humdrum

Spanske meloner

På en nymånenat fumler jeg med min radio og kommer til at slette alle de stationer, jeg har lagt ind som faste. ”Alle” er et stort ord; jeg bor i Danmark og vi har ikke det store udvalg, og derudover bliver jeg mere og mere kræsen m.h.t. musik, efterhånden som jeg ældes. I hvert fald med hvad der kommer ud af radioen. Hvis det ikke er mudder-hjernet poplort, er det umusikalsk dumt rap eller et snæversynet udvalg af klassisk … I det mindst gi'r jazzkanalen mig en lille optur indimellem.

i forårstøj

Jeg får dog lagt kanalerne ind igen og går ud for at pisse. På vej tilbage til sengen får jeg lyst til at se 8½ i stedet. Fellini kan måske give mig bedre drømme.

efter Himmelfarten
flytter jeg stolen tilbage
til trummerummet

Dream 21-10-14

Without warning “they” begin renewing parts of my body, exchanging bits and pieces following a system I can't make head or tails of. I say “they” because I sense more than two hands but I can't see who or what they belong to. One pair of hands is working on my right lower leg. It rips out the pieces of muscle that has sorta made knots of themselves and feel sore. I watch gloved hands put in glass marbles in nice colours and toy soldiers (the kind you're meant to paint yourself) while the toes on my left foot are being capped with steel caps with claws that would fit a dragon's feet. “How am I going to walk in those?” I ask. “You aren't,” says a voice coming from who know where. “You are meant to fly!” “Oh, well ...” I don't know what to say. Who doesn't want to be able to fly. “But I haven't got any wings.” “Patience, boy, patience.” steady rain it seems sleepless too … file date: October 21, 2014

Voodoo

  Voodoo Absent minded I drop a herbal tablet on the glass table. I can hear it roll and stop but I can't find it. It's not behind the mug, the fruit basket, the ash tray, the tobacco pouches or the empty Cinderella video cassette. Maybe it's because I can't do two things at once: taking out a tablet and watch James Bond trying to avoid being killed by a sneaky voodoo man at the same time. Probably. almost spring I check the pollen count to make sure it's o.k. to sneeze . Voodoo Fraværende taber jeg en urtepille på glasbordet. Jeg kan høre den trille og standse, men jeg kan ikke finde den. Den er ikke bag kruset, frugtskålen, askebægeret, tobakspungene eller den tomme Askepot videokassette. Måske er det fordi jeg ikke kan gøre to ting på én gang: tage en pille ud og se James Bond forsøge at undgå, at blive slået ihjel af en lusket voodoomand på samme tid. Højst sandsynligt næsten forår jeg tjekker pollentallet for at sikre mig det' o.k. at nyse ...

Faulty Empty Spaces

After taking stock the foreman comes to the office. ”Yup, just as I thought, we have a lot of faulty empty spaces left.” ”How many?” I asked. ”It seems that only one in ten of those we had manufactured in Taiwan is actually working as intended. The rest are just taking up space. I don't think we can sell them.” ”No, I guess not. Can't we fix them somehow?” ”Of course, but the cost of fixing them would exceed their production cost and the room for profit is too narrow for that.” “Throw them out, then.” “O.k. but it's not gonna come cheap either. They're considered hazardous waste so we need a specialised company with specialised tools and specially trained guys to come and get them.” “Can't we just bury them somewhere?” “Bury empty spaces? Man, think of the ground water! Do you plan to poison our grandchildren?” two steps forward one back night frost … file date: November 23, 2014
