SIX PACK

SIX PACK

Wolfgang B. Sperlich, 2010

A full moon

Magnified on the horizon

Inspires

Contemplation

Where is he on moonless nights?

Gone the way of Milky Way?

I see the face in the mirror

Answers are forthcoming

Science

Laws of nature

Some the face understands

Others not

The face turns, the mirror dies

Nothing matters

The moon shines again

Pale

Eyes closed forever

Blinded by the sun

Meaningless meaning

Works hard to survive

Wishing never to have been born

Blackmailing mental health

Extracting extra medication

For fake suicide

Night and day

The limelight shines

On your faces

Fame and fortune in the making

Happy to be

Blinded by lightning

Have another one

Until the six pack’s gone

Enjoy the delirium

Struck dumb by words

Coming from the mirror

Without a face
