no, but how about a little Kokoschka..

CHORUS (Question)

Why are you not good?
Why are you not good?

CHORUS (Answer)

Because they simply should have existed
but they wanted to persist in appearance.

or perhaps Benn.

In war and peace, at the front and in the occupied zone, as an officer
and a doctor, between racketeers and aristocrats, before padded or barred cells,
beside beds and coffins, in triumph and decline I never escaped the trance-like
idea that nothing was real.

Here in France, my German name "Heinrich" was translated into
"Henri" just after my arrival in Paris. I had to resign myself to it
and, finally, name myself thus in this country, for the word "Heinrich"
did not appeal to the French ear and the French make everything
in the world nice and easy for themselves. They were also incapable
of pronouncing the name "Henri Heine" correctly, and for most people
my name is Mr. Enri Enn; many abbreviate this to an "Enrienne,"
and some call me Mr. Un rien (a nothing).
