Garments I

Overwhelmed by the complexity of modern civilization
She went out to the garden shed and cut off all her hair
Made tiny little garments out of what once was her glory
Then moved to Southern Italy and sat there on a chair
Reading letters from long forgotten friends.

Morning coffee. Birthday party.
Funeral clothing. Monday garbage.
Power structures. Stupid problem.
Silent disco. Hipster boredom.
Fever dreaming. Weekly reading.
The same.
It’s just not the same
It’s not the same
It’s just not the same
It’s just the same
Leather jacket. Smoking habit.
Charging cable. Quiet nature.
Right-wing asshole. Common household.
Band discussion. Angry cousin.
Pop-up. Start-up. Workout. Chillout.
The same.
It’s just not the same
It’s not the same
It’s just not the same
It’s just the same

You leave your house.
You don’t turn around. Keep going.
I had some trouble locating you last night.
Maybe you were in a hurry to get out of town?
Is your mother looking for you?
You leave your house.
You don’t turn around. Keep going.
People say it’s been a while since they last saw you.
You used to run around the park.
You used to walk your dog.
You used to talk to all the folks from around here.
You even used to help all the old ladies with their shopping, with their groceries.
You leave your house.
You don’t turn around. Keep going.
I know you had a little problem, with that one family over there
But I heard you turned it all around.
You don’t turn around. Keep going.
To fully realize one’s potential
One has to be very clear about what one wants to do in life.
You leave your house.
Do not copy others. Be yourself.
You have a personality of your own.
You don’t turn around.
You are the one making it happen.
You can make all your big dreams come true – if you know what you want
And if you have the right plan on how to get there.
You don’t turn around.
Keep going.
Anyway.
There’s a fellow here from the bank.
He wants to speak to you.
I’ll pass you his phone number right here.

When she awoke in her Sicilian chair,
She had slept for
13 hours,
50 minutes,
2 days,
6 seconds,
12 minutes,
5 hours,
40 seconds,
3 days,
1 minute,
15 milliseconds,
6 eons,
& 17 moments.
It was past midnight.
Her right arm was paralyzed
And she found that her tiny little garments had disappeared
She said: “I don’t want to live like this.”

There’s a carpet. There’s a floor.
There’s a table. There’s a door.
There’s a picture. There’s a chair.
There’s a feeling I’m not there.

Heiner, Heiner
Why didn’t you ever change your name?
Heiner, Heiner
Why didn’t you ever change your name?
Heiner
How come you never changed your name?
“I hesitated.
I may have underestimated it.
I wasn’t motivated.
I got deviated.
I was late to it.
I was busy orchestrating, creating, somnambulating. I got discombobulated.
I like them to be irritated.
Although I’m definitely not related.
Really – I was late to it!”
All those Nazi connotations

Hyla Crucifer Bern, Switzerland
Hyla Crucifer erzählen Geschichten. Ihre Protagonist:innen stecken im Alltagstrott fest, sind überfordert von der Moderne oder verheddern sich in Entschuldigungen. Doch die Musik des Berner Quintetts erzählt dazu ihre eigene Geschichte. Die fünf MusikerInnen haben ihre Wurzeln im Jazz, schwelgen aber auch in der Unbekümmertheit des Pop und mögen die Direktheit von Spoken Word. ... more
