Langweilige Puppen

Langweilige Puppen (Boring Dolls), Jeanne Mammen, 1929

Boring dolls on the beach at Southampton,
phantoms on the autobahn...

You have your Mercedes.
I have my smut.
You have your pharaoh.
I have my snout.
Did you miss the punchline?
Did you miss the putt?
Can you hear the archaic harmony?

Far out at sea,
a shrimp cringes.
