COPY THAT

March 23, 2026

Take a pill and go to sleepI'm chasing witches in the streetI'm the last page in your bookCan't write a song, only do hooks

Some 20 years ago i circled the same area. Do you remember the smell. Of copy shops. The humming sounds of machines. Communicating. These shops were always packed. As an army of students got their projects printed. Always. To be handed in. To be dropped in the postbox. Late, always so late. To be read. Turning the pages. Turning the toxic pages. Then die after licking your fingers. Just like the monks in Eco's Name of the Rose.

They are all gone. The copy shops. I looked for them. It took me three attempts before i could finally hand over a crooked USB stick. Now my baby is being taken care of. Printed, bound, minted. In dark blue linen.

Now what. Nussecke and coffee. Here is my reading list. See you around.
