Description
I read an articleOnce
That Berlin is a "writer's paradise"
Coffee shop performances
Chapbooks scattered
In the gutter
I saw young men
And sleek women
Draining their cigarettes
Voices in subdued rhythm
Marching on
The words
The air is sex
Properly punctuated
Who cares about the world
When the word is all that matters
Only the words matter
When I read that article
Once
I said to myself
I've found my back-up country
Secondary patriotism
Now to learn German
Take a semester
Study it so much I hate it
My soul is lost to Berlin
