Start without me

/, Blesok no. 29/Start without me

Start without me

After New Year
Homesick
Fool
Alone Again
It would be Awful not to Read the Papers
Start without me
Bed

Feel free to start without me
I will be somewhere here
although I won’t be present
I trust you immensely
pretend I’m everywhere
and just start
distribute the invitations
put on the posters
call the journalists
of all stations and papers
and provide them the promised
drinking until they shit
wait for the dark
and switch on the spot lights
play soft music
and blow (in the microphone)
check the actor if he had
read his text
and don’t forget to praise him
provide free of charge books
and signing them for each other
call several living poets
maybe a doctor, priest and policeman
and open the door wide
check the introductory speech deliverer
if he knows how to read – give him a bottle
and keep on repeating him
the word (not to forget it)
don’t start on time
wait for the room to fill up
and close the door
throw them tear gas
and start with the show
