From this is the fugitive 

 

i don’t know if i took it or didn’t take it

i don’t know if i could or could not take it

it’s when they enter your room, go through all your papers, finger your sentences

the room is sealed and you can’t get back in

fraternizing with the enemy

they occupy your thoughts inside your sentences

your innermost paragraphs

mama, papa, all our family secrets

holy relics means the family’s dead?

he doesn’t speak to his papa anymore

i mean georg

i am minna, misha, minka, mina, mia, myrna, mikaela

i intend georg, he is my intended

i met georg on the rue wilhelmine

i meant guillaume is where georg lived with wilhelmine aka minna

in french at the

confinement of his german

darmstadt a doomstate

against provincial german, cosmopolitan french

minna, won’t you french with me?

her papa, a protestant minister, sang the oratorio at lenz’s oberlin’s funeral

johann ≠ john

we walked by the family court where the papa strived for justice

who will defend the youths when they are arrested for revolutionary gestures?

walked by the juvenile detention periphery

st. guillaume a dissolute soldier as a french youth

i did my youth in french, it was existential and revolutionary

there existed 66 rues, like hues

69 i know, but georg and minna didn’t do that yet. 66 must mean they grinded, made out, after her papa died each night, that meant went to sleep

or the protestant church where your papa took you when you were a girl, e.g. myrna

the gloom allows you to see. otherwise you are blinded

when it’s too bright, with his manic woyzeck fragments

how it becomes too much!

on cranial nerves, on losing your nerve, on being nervy, nervous, or any of the nerves that arise in pairs from the lower surface of the brain and pass through openings in the skull to the periphery of the body

 what?

 there is an opening in your skull is why you need a helmet such as wilhelmina or wilhelmine

 or she needs her own will

 quote that juvenile poem here about speed racer?

 having a fontanelle means they push right into your skull

 my room is my cranium

 georg quoted the lenz poem in which jakob lenz spoke as friederike brion abandoned by johann goethe, when he georg told minna jaeglé yes, confess our secret to your papa. although i liked our secret

 liked our secret revolutionary activities
