Did you read Heidegger?

[peter danielsen]

Did you read heidegger
do you think he was left or right
horizontal or vertical
was he up to it or
or deeply down
do you think he was
pro abortion or against
literary biographies

Do you think he could anticipate the disappointments
did he write repulsive pornographic poems at the age of 17
have you found elements of destruction in your childhood
which ring sweet in conversations with women

Do you think you will be able to stop defending yourself
when others actually know better
is not selfdestruction by suicide an impossibility according to your principles
is not your principles an impossibility according to the idea of the illusion of the self
are illusions not ideas
which in principle can be described as possibilities

Would you like to explore chaos
as the only unceasing factor of motivation
are you motivated by chaos
or your passionate
exploration of your own passion

Do you walk around with a butterfly in your stomach
fearing the moment
when it wriggles away like a caterpillar
whispering with a quite faint voice:
Heidegger I did... not... read...no
