Ein Büchlein aus dem 16. Jahrhundert dient in dieser Erzählung als Basis zu einer modernen Interpretation allfälliger metaphysischer Erweiterungen des Individuellen schlechthin. Oftmals scheint sich die biologische Grenze auszudehnen, Phantomidentitäten bieten ihre durchaus funktionierenden Dienste an, d. h. Sein und Schein verschmelzen ineinander, das Eine wird durch einen bloßen Willensakt auch zum Anderen und bildet somit das Leben innerhalb eines Dralls ab.

In einer unscheinbaren Bar irgendwo in Mexiko treffen und inspirieren sich einander der epochale Caravaggio und einige der durchaus modernen Anderen, ohne sich vom eigenen, dynamisch schicksalhaften Kurs abbringen zu lassen, der ja immer wieder als Mixtur individueller und fremder Eingebungen auftritt.

Abgesehen von der poetischen Einführung – dem spannenden, strukturellen Leitfaden – sind die anschließend folgenden Texte „Poetische Razzia Blatt I–VII" tatsächlich etwas fragmentarisch und roh, sind noch im Werden, im Suchen und Entdecken eines kommenden Sinns, um der Welt, in die sie ja offenbar gehen oder besser gesagt hinein schwimmen, etwas gewappneter gegenüberzutreten. Man bemerkt aber schon jetzt eine gewisse barbarische Tendenz zur Zerstörung, die in einer erweiterten Bedeutung der Geschehnisse die Grundlage, das Fundament sozusagen, für eine neue Ordnung bilden.
