“You see, I have no sympathy
For your first-world apathy.”

“The warm reciting of Bruno Ganz,
Melancholy on the lips and in the air,
Apocalypse,
Sweet apocalypse is always near -
Under the full moon tax-payers dance,
In a Fassbinder middle-class romance,
And the pink sign flickers
The neon light shivers -
Late Night Weltschmerz.”
