MUSIC
music
never lets me down
I can play it
whenever I wish
and switch it off
when I want to
without it complaining
it relaxes me
I can play
a certain CD
without all the others
getting jealous
and I don't
have to buy them drinks
before they'll
give me pleasure

MISS HER
I only miss her
when she's not there
when she's there
I don't miss her
at all

THE HANGING
the artist
already damaged
from a previous
suicide attempt
by jumping
from a bridge
hanged himself
in the former church
now an art gallery
where he was
the caretaker
I guess
he just wanted
to be part
of the exhibition
