lyrics

Hail, Jura! Conjurer
Strips of culture appear
among strips
of greenish, brownish – breathing automatically
Slick obscurant!
I see your remote controlled bird parades;
vultures fixed on a short-lived nature's punctual machinery

Heavyweight, Jura!
Lets a pack of robot canines into the woods:
camera eyes,
airbrushed joints,
glossy limbs:
movement prediction within these carriers
My heart beats along the road –
our ghosts that dared to look up
In a murky meadow they met
the people of the area

Upscale, Jura!
And from the moment of evolving the trump-card absurdity:
hail the human intelligence!
Measured by measures of its own
Leading some minds
to know how to put on a show of force,
potential purgatory
And how to proclaim knowledge sovereign
of all living
Entitlement’s keystone

Short-term, Jura!
If intelligence was measured
in the time span of survival
then we’re outrun by the flora and the fauna
that so far have powered us
Then we’re by far the simplest species
ever to have walked the globe, Jura
In the middle of our love for each other's thinking here, Jura:
breathing in your male cowardice

Male, Jura!
And then they're meeting you later
right where product meets face
outside on the back stairs
of a hardware store in your birth region
I dare not think, it roars much
It gets silent here at night
Whoever dares to whisper
my ears are ready to listen
