All Comments on 'While Waiting for a White Trabant'

Another excellent poem. I have the phrase "laser brain day" stuck in my head. :)

Some really strong imagery here, making you feel like you're in the poet's shoes getting inspiration from your surroundings.

God only knows how many scars, correction - live wounds still hurt every day, how many people in and out and in-between the now united Germany. The always ‘wunderkind’ of Europe, both in excellence as in disasters, both to the rest of the world and to its own citizens, the country brought oceans of pain. Even the most sincere state suctioned efforts could never fully acknowledge not mentioning compensate.

Sorry for going so long on that, but this one worked so well precisely because of the restraint in the expression of anger. So many efforts fail or fall prey to kitsch. I am desperately curious to know in what way (if it touched you in a personal way)have the history of Germany- divided, then united - have touched you, but respectful I shall remain to what you have already disclosed.
