Procrastination... it seems to be the key

[amatol]

I should be writing some personal statement thing for grad school, but well personal is just not my style...well unless it is written all cryptic like with tons of metaphors that are probably so convoluted they aren't usually even taken as such. Anyway! So here I am, like some fool hollering in a near deserted stadium. And what you may wonder is

I'm hiding in the stadium bleachers. I can't read the german but it made me put on a Rammstein disc.

moody autumn

[amatol]

English translation:
An Autumn Evening
To Karl Röck

The brown village. A darkness is often reflected

By striding along walls that stand in autumn,

Figures: both man and woman, deceased walk

In cool rooms to prepare the bed of those.

Here boys play. Heavy shadows widen

Over brown manure. Maids walk

Through moist blueness and sometimes they look

Out of eyes fulfilled with night-chimes.

For the lonely there is an inn;

It waits patiently under dark arches,

Where golden clouds of tobacco move around.

Yet always the self is black and near.

The drunk ponders in the shadow of ancient arches

After the wild birds that are drawn far away.

I like that.
I'm gonna have to look me up some George Trakl and german translations beyond babelfish now.
