“(…) the artist’s transcendence must be within his own work; he should not impose any artificial barriers between himself and his subconscious.”
— Stanley Kubrick
This is around Hamburg central station, around midnight.
“It begins to tell…
’round midnight, midnight…
I do pretty well…
Till after sundown…”
“Halal!”
Back alley gym window decoration…
… muscles flexing…
… bronze tan…
“But it really gets bad…
… ’round midnight…
Memories always start ’round midnight…
Haven’t got the heart to stand those memories…”
Words from “Round Midnight” by Ella Fitzgerald:
