I climb on

the murderer

confesses

all details

first the one bus arrived

woman on my lap**

he did not witnesses

then the second one required

he did kill court sessions

after brief arousal how many

did he show regret the murderer

the translator like always

says but he looks his back looks

to the ground driver wears his usual cap

*this backwards upwards downwards poem came about to spit out the impressions the radio program from the minibus stereo left; in this rural area even the scheduled bus most of the time runs as a minibus – 10-seater, 2 or 3 passengers. I felt sick from the lack of distance to the court room scenario.

**in a completely different context tonight I pick up a sentence from a TV program: When you open, you let in the unpleasantness, too.
