Komponiert hat er zwischendurch. ...sagte ich als sie von mir wissen wollte wann ich eigentlich meine Gedichte schreibe."

(Original englisch: "Bach, I said, he had 20 children.// he played the horses during the day.// he fucked at night// and drank in the morning.// he wrote music in between.// at least that's what I told her// when she asked me,// when do you do your writing?" - you do it while you're killing flies.
