"I walk in a desert of red and orange rocks the sea descends and leaves between the sand hills a large pool of water I swim on the station platform I snort drugs under my scarf the fish bowl does not fit in my rucksack it is dark thousands of multicolored and luminous tulips in the garden I get off the train at London station the Imperial city is in ruins the country is at war an exhibition of tombs in the shape of chairs each contains a corpse narrow alleys where it is dark I look for a name on doorbells a box of rusty padlocks in my hands a large park a colonial residence there are goats and sheep I photograph the residence of the Pakistanis lay packets of cigarettes in front of the houses some carry vacuum cleaners a black mass in honor of a dead man with severed legs bulls on the ground being decapitated I ride a motorbike under a 2 horsepower I see a pink panther in the distance i pass by dutch buildings i enter an abandoned housing estate in a sunny room objects are on the ground i am sitting on the floor a bearded man in tights looks to the side the legs are trapped in the ceiling a camera is on the floor on an architect's table my brother's bedroom is a classroom there are computers on a student shoots people in an amphitheater before committing suicide a trapdoor to descend into a tavern lights in the shape of fish on the ground every intersection of the tunnel is guarded by armed soldiers a spy satellite is destroyed by an American missile narrow alleys it is dark an accident on the side of the road in the grass a severed leg i have to play the piano before being hanged in front of a crowd trying to run away listening to music on a tape recorder girl pressing all the keys leather nightgown at the pool i have no d the bathing suit I'm wrapped in a towel goldfish swim in the lobby baby birds in a nest on the sideboard and a pheasant in the dining room a hotel room jungle-like greenery in a corner of the room sleeping bags rolled up in a pet store i buy a frog it's a crab teeth falling out but it's toes bloody people in an elevator a baby is holding a bottle full of blood a man is drawing a cartoon he receives death threats a monster approaches I close my eyes my eyelids are transparent and I still see him."
