Ausschnitt aus „Walter or You jerk you didn’t call me up“
[…] Draußen regnete es. Oder es regnete schon länger und ich hatte es nicht bemerkt. Die Stadt lag hinter dem Glas, verschwommen, unwirklich. Walter trat neben mich.
WALTER Und?
Ich hielt die Hand über das Mikrofon.
ICH Was und?
WALTER Ist jetzt alles gut?
ICH Nein.
Er nickte. Für einen Augenblick spiegelten wir uns alle im Fenster, Walter, du und ich; Jerk nicht, obwohl ich seine Stimme hörte. Ich legte die Hand an die Scheibe. Sie war kalt.
JERK Was machst du?
Ich sah unsere Spiegelungen, die Bilder, die dunkle Stadt, oder umgekehrt. Im Glas lag alles übereinander.
ICH Ich versuche, etwas herauszufinden.
JERK Was?
Ich dachte an Althoffs Bild. An die vielen Geschichten, die Erklärungen. Ihr werdet das nie verstehen. Und: Wie schön wäre es, wenn ihr es könntet.
ICH Ob man jemanden lieben kann, ohne ihn zu verstehen.
Es entstand eine Pause. Ich sah dich an. Du sahst zurück. Walter hob die Augenbrauen.
JERK Und?
ICH Weiß nicht.
