seeing
my wife take off her clothes
is disappointing
on the other hand
watching her put them on
is quite exciting
then
she has to take them off again
which as I had already mentioned
can be disappointing
too many times
I wrote and rewrote them
now let me ask you
whose fault is it
that the poems
you were supposed
to inspire
are so shitty
Vadim Vadim
we both know
that I haven't left yet
sometimes
when you call me
I don't answer
in the appartment next door
I hear a quarrel
what do you want from him
woman
leave us alone
mistakes
we all make
last night drunk at the bar
I mistook some woman
for my wife
regrets to both of them
when passing by the windows
of department stores
I often
look under the skirts of manikins
sorry
that wasn't a manikin
into
the wishing well
I dropped two coins
but it's been two weeks
since you haven't called me
I want
my money back
to you now
smiling
condescendingly
I must confess
I wrote this for the other
who just like you
smiled
condescendingly
