Ezzes by Estis: Daffke | nd-aktuell.de

I’m supposed to explain to you what Daffke is, but Daffke is, if I don’t explain it to you, namely from Daffke. But even though I don’t explain it to you, you still want to know, and there can only be one reason for that: Daffke.

Daffke has nothing to do with Kafka, although Kafka may have written some things from Daffke – or maybe he hasn’t written from Daffke or at least hasn’t finished writing from Daffke. And then he wanted to have everything destroyed from even more Daffke, but his friend didn’t destroy everything from Daffke, but kept everything, except that he changed a few things, also from Daffke.

In this respect, Kafka has a lot to do with Daffke, or at least not nearly as little as Daffke has to do with Kafka, namely not at all.

Alexander Estis, a freelance Jew without a permanent address, writes so much schmozy in this column that it will make you sick to your stomach.

Or Daffke has something to do with Kafka. The only thing that is certain is: “Yes” has to do with Daffke, because you always do something because of Daffke, even though you definitely shouldn’t do it because of Daffke.

Let’s say you know something is wrong, but as soon as you are told, you are daffke sure that it must be true so that what others say is not true. Or you want everything to be better, and that’s why you do it dafke everything even worse. Or you’re against the government because it doesn’t solve your problems, so you vote daffke someone who even less solves your problems – least of all the problems that she causes you in the first place, and certainly the problems that she causes not to you but to everyone else. That’s why there are entire parties of Daffkenists.

But there are also Daffkenists without a party. Brother Arik, for example, is a Daffkenist. If you say to him, “Dig a pit!”, he will make a mound. If you tell him: “Get milk!”, he will get meat, or even pork. If you tell him: “Put some wood in!” he will take out the last log, even if he burns his fingers. If you want him to sleep then he wakes up, if you want him to cook then he eats, if you want him to walk then he stands, if you want him to be silent then he speaks, and if you want him to speak, then – he doesn’t remain silent, but paints the fence green. Why isn’t he silent? From Daffke. Brother Arik is such a huge Daffkenist that his name from Daffke isn’t even Arik, but something completely different, namely Kira, and so he isn’t a brother at all, but would be a sister if he was even part of the family.

In any case, you should now know what Daffke is, even if you probably do dafke didn’t want to understand, but wanted me to explain it to you – but I explain it to you dafke not, so: definitely definitely not now. If, on the other hand, you don’t want me to explain it to you, then I won’t explain it to you without Daffke, but not just in a different way, but in a complicated different way.

For example: Daffke is when you are told not to leave the house because you have drunk home-made distilled spirits. But just then you go out into the street and you fall and tear all your bones and break all your tendons and have a concussed lung and a brain cough. And then the doctor tells you that you should not study under any circumstances until you have recovered, but you study the Talmud like a man possessed, even though you have never done it before, or it is not you who study the Talmud, but the Talmud studies you , because you actually no longer have the energy to study the Talmud.

And in the end you’re almost dead because, firstly, you drank too much home brew, secondly, you broke too many arms, and thirdly, you studied too much Talmud. So you’re almost dead three times over, and that’s why God tells you that you have to die now. But from Daffke you do not die, but become a Dibbuk.

Now of course you want to know what a dybbuk is. But I won’t explain it to you. From Daffke.
