America in Miniature …


Today is Friday, the 16th of November 2018.

Kylie is calling from Maryland. Thomas West, the 3rd Baron De La Warr, is not a mummy, she wants to point out. He was more of a wax figure in some wax museum because he was the founder of the colonie of Delaware or something like that. The llama is yawning. Boring, it says.
But Kylie is sad today. She just got to know that she will have to say to good-bye to her neighbours on some German Colonization Street in 2020. No more family and mother Beamer. No more family Schutzschild - although only Tanga Schutzschild stayed in the neighbourhood running a hair and beauty palace. No more communes of people sharing an apartment. No more wisdoms of Confucius. No more love, sex and crime. And she will miss Sunny and Cher. Or was it Sunny and Klaus? It is a pity. He lost so much weight lately. But maybe 36 years is more than enough. Time to pray good-bye. All good things come to an end. With the exception of sausages, because sausages have two ends.

Take this thing back to Baltimore …
