There's a lot of you in my wallpapers.

Your smells. 

Your bio fields.

Are we living together?


When I tape the wallpapers on your face

your cheeks and forehead glitter in glue.

Are we done?


You can't monitor me --

your eyes are under ornaments. 

Rip it off - and you will lose your eyebrows.


Wallpapers make history.

So many characters behind.

One day it may explode.

Scratch your wallpaper. 

Know your former neighbor. 

Archive layers are endless.


Wallpaper is like a billboard

promoting the residents.

Did you wipe your greasy hands?

Did you prop against the wall your neighbors' wife?


Someone carved his initials.

Someone counted his remaining days.

There's still a piece of a rope under the lamp but... 

let's stick to those wallpapers.

Memory notes.

Non removable lipstick.

Blood stains and sins.

Dirty hooves left their mark.


Too many devils show up with their stories.

I can't stand hearing them.

So I put new wallpapers 

on ceilings and electricity nests.

I stick every hole up: 

even windows and bathroom doors.


But every time the wallpaper gets curly

especially - at the connecting points -

I still witness the lives of others

and they spread all over the flat

like a bad smell.
