Lettering

Eines Tages wird dieser Junge grösser werden. Eines Tages wird dieser Junge etwas erfahren, was in ihm so ein Gefühl hervorruft, als würde die Welt aus ihren Angeln gehoben. Eines Tages wird dieser Junge an einen Punkt kommen, an dem er eine Teilung spürt, die nichts mit Mathematik zu tun hat. Eines Tages wird dieser Junger fühlen, dass sich in seinem Herzen und Hals und Mund etwas regt ... All dies wird sich in ein oder zwei Jahren ereignen, wenn er entdeckt, dass er den Wunsch hat, seinen nackten Körper auf den nackten Körper eines anderen Jungen zu legen ... Herausgeber: ... Übersetzung: Jürgen Richter. © David Wojnarowicz/ACT UP Berlin 1990. Pusch+Hüskes. Translation of text: One day this boy will be older. One day this boy will learn something, what it causes such a feeling of the world being lifted off its hinges ... One day this boy will sense a division that is not related to mathematics. One day this boy will feel that in his heart and throat and mouth something is aroused ... All this will happen in one or two years when he discovers that he has the desire to lay his naked body by the naked body of another boy
