to read
the future's not unwritten
but the future's just unread
so tomorrow just keeps hidden
within strange things that true prophets said
their word – unheard
not interpreted correctly yet
besides the things we even did forget
damned to be misunderstood instead
as what seems logically forbidden
the future's not unwritten
but we don't know how to read
what is always meant to fit in
only after the time that it needs
its will – fulfilled
ambivalently quick-witted – ahead
of what we can comprehend and that
what's integrated before it's dead –
killed by what seems causally forbidden
taken for something real to set...
– too many aspects and meanings to get
any comprehensive single thread
– left with undecodable shreds
taken for something real to read...
