go with the progress

Markus Kiener 1960 (Regensdorf)



the first few cars I had in my life
were gasoline-driven
each car needed gasoline to function

now I drive a car
both gasoline-driven and hybrid-drive
needs gasoline and feeds the hybrid-motor
clever, isn’t it?!

the next car I drive in my life
will be powered by electricity
he will need electricity to function

the first few dogs I had in my life
were powered by food
each dog needed flesh to function

now I have a dog
he is powered by food and twenty years old
the dog and I know, he won’t make this year anymore
clumsy, isn’t it?!

the next dog I have in my life
will be powered by electricity
he will need electricity to function
