I'm married to a house

Gerlinde Hacker

I inhabit my body

and

my body inhabits me

it has its preferences

and

provides a reliable net

my mind loses time

and

my mind shatters

changes

laughs

my body’s getting stronger

my mind follows

I steal my time

away from you

time loses me

my body has its own preferences
