I met an Indian in India.
...
I gave birth to it at Saint Cross Hospital in Berlin.
One of my boyfriends said to me,
"Be bad!"
Another boyfriend said, "It doesn´t resemble anyone."
One of my girlfriends said, "It looks like that guy."
Another girlfriend laughed.
...
The following day, I was in the city of Berlin
with the most wicked one whose face I made up.
The guys were quarreling in the bar.
"The heat killed the cows.
We gotta carry them to the East as soon as possible."
It´s hot, it´s noon!
I put a hat on it.
A guy stood alone.
He was looking this way from the other side of the street.
It´s John Ford.
...
The next day, I was in the city of Stockholm
with the most wicked one whose face I made up
I played hide and seek with Matthias and his friends.
Matthias was it.
I walked around the streets with Matthias in my arms.
I was alone.
....
The following day, I was in Melbourne
with the most wicked face I made up.
I looked for it in the deserts, in the red rock mountains,
and in the bushes.
I ran around riding on a horse.
I skinned the cow,
and I drew a face on it. I put it up on a boulevard.
"Wanted $100."
The telephone rang. "$200, please."
....
The next day, I was in Kyoto with the most wicked one
whose face I made up.
I crossed the Bridge of Shijyo with it in my arms.
The festival music of Gion was ringing, "Konchiki, Konchiki."
....
My Indian laughed and started dancing.
My Indian went to India.
I was alone again.
I gave birth to it at Saint Cross Hospital in New York.
