Berlin

in Berlin you can buy a day ticket for the U-bahn

that will be valid until 3am the next day

there are lots of trees

and for some reason the public parks grow long

meadows in the middle of the city

cost cutting as opposed to lawn cutting, perhaps

it looks beautiful

and attracts the bees

but perhaps not these ones

they are Napoleon's particular passion

and you can find them in the Museum der Deutschen Geschichte

where we cram 1500 years into an hour

on the way to a quiet moment at what is left of the wall

and the monument created so that we won't forget

daisies bloom on this part of the Wall

elsewhere there are aprons

both in the stores

and

in the museum [mentioned above]

in Berlin you can take your dog to the public house

to a shop

and on the underground

and below some paper sculpture spotted in the window

of the smallspace gallery

[closed for Sunday, fair enough]

exhibition "knots and facets"
