undefined trajectories



a black scarf wrapped around a white graceful neck was found on the street
by a homeless person.
kissed the scarf with trembling lips and slimy hands stuffed the fabric
under his multicolored rag.
another classic;
a lost and found ordinary story
which anyone can see on the afternoon news
 zapping through life, a broken remote control
get close to the TV-set, see what’s on.
another scarf, another bum, another road, another story
to tell the kids, to tell posterity.
falling bread crumbs from rich tables, in content;
cockroaches crawling under, to take part at the feast.
zapping again and again, anxiously waiting for  new reality shows
on which he can fit in.
but when the night comes, the red button is pressed
and it all stops for a couple of hours in a surrealistic image
and it never ceases to surprise him for that he never sleeps
while searching for a world where he can safely dive.
heavy steps on the stairs outside his nutshell
the feelings hide behind ignorant curtains
and fills his mind with purple mist.
he runs to find another story although
he didn’t sort the present out.
dwarfs roam around the crippled mind
dark corners waiting for the lights
nothingness is timed using their scale
tired of his vice he calls in sick
of life.
progress is spinning like a dice
numbered steps decide his trajectory under a cloudy sky; no planes fly
in a matter of years it all ends
the mother that cries, modified genes, desired femmes and all
the beams that hold the barns.
everything collapsed on an afternoon broadcast
live and for real, he leaves his nutshell in search for the same things
a repetitive surprising journey, where he knows that he knows
but he forgets to remember.
