Once a year

all toy robots

around the world

have parties.

Unnoticed they leave

houses and shops

around midnight.

A five year old boy

from Chicago

told every detail

to his grandfather.

And so we know

that it's true.

Kardamom.

Mit manchen Worten

verreist man.

Genug Beinfreiheit

auf dem fliegenden Teppich.

Jemand ruft.

Ich bin noch gar nicht

gelandet.

Die Mauer dahinter

Der Seitenaltar.

Von Kerzen tropft 

Wachs auf Wachs.

Das ADAC-Auto fährt

The phone rings.

The child has seen

an icicle. A real one!
