THE BOYS (1): HITLER
bamboo # 86 - anis 15.01.01 - for nader and lucian
now - tell me - who is this guy - that is spreading these bamboo sheets?
- can he be - normal? - no way - he thinks - that he must change -
the world - just leave me alone - with him - he is just making
- trouble -- but why? - what did he do? - well
- you know - that's a bit complicated - he is always - invading
-- what do you mean? - what is he invading? -- he
- how can i - explain - he walks into your front yard - and the
worst thing of all is - he takes you by your word - whenever you
talk to him - he takes everything - at face value -- but that's
okay - isn't it? -- no - it is not okay - i mean - you know how the world is - we say things
- just to take a look - i mean - you don't really want to - say
something - or decide on something - the thing is - once i gave
him - a promise - and he expected me - to keep it - you know -
that is the type of guy - that he is - and then you have to -
show your colors - he somehow manages - to make you to - this
is most annoying -- i heard - he is - a genius -- first of all - he is an asshole - of course
his art - is alright - but what can that mean - anyway? - somebody
- who has such a strong will - is dangerous - by principle - he
is looking for - change - he is looking for - trouble - he should
leave people - in peace - and besides - he is incapable - of bearing
any criticism -- but every time - i meet him - he is in high
spirits - that's bound to have - a reason -- of course - because he destroys everything - that disturbs his good humor
- it does not matter - if you ignore him - or criticize him -
or look at him in a sinister way - he stays happy - but i don't
want him to be - happy -- but just let him - be happy -- well
he can be so - at home - but we - are different - did you forget
- how miserable the world is? - no dough - trouble at home - bad
tv program - and you don't really know - what to do - with your
- life - and this man pretends - that it is - a beautiful world
- and this surely contradicts - all reality -- yeah - you're
right - i don't feel happy myself - but you know - in a way i
regret - that there is - nothing big anymore - in the world -
there is nothing new - there is nothing - of interest -- in
history of course - you find big things - and big people - like
- aristotle - or goethe -- tell me - why do people like these
- not exist - anymore? -- because - well - because they are dead -- i
think - i would not know - how to deal with such a - genius -
anyway - i mean - just imagine - to meet someone like that - somewhere
- and what would i be supposed to say - to him? -- just
forget about that - you will never get - into such a situation
- because - they are all dead -- it is in a way - a relieving
thought - after all - because when you trust - a big man or woman
- then it can easily - go totally wrong -- right - and when there are no big people -
then nothing bad - can happen - it may be a bit of a bore - but
at least we are - emancipated citizens - and decide ourselves
- what we are up to -- exactly - and you oughta know - too
- what you can say - in public - and what you rather keep - to
yourself -- by the way -
did i ever tell you - that i had a phase myself - where i thought - i would be big? - only
my father - did not allow -- really? - the same with me -
and my big brother -- and my mother -- well - you know - i like
my mother -- oh - i like
my mother, too - don't misunderstand - but I was wrong - in this
matter - anyway -- you see - there just isn't anything big anymore
-- exactly
