Stasi

Your life as an addict - turned into the oncoming traffic
Your life with the didactic - turned into the oncoming traffic

Of addiction & art & poetry & death
Of subterfuge and sub-titles
Somewhere, somewhat more discrete

Of dictators & despots & sex & death
Of refuge and the triumph

Of reckless love over impending duty

Of imitators & writers & actors & death
Of subterfuge and sub-titles
Somewhere, sublime yet incomplete
