Je ne vais nulle part alors j’écoute
À la radio près de la fenêtre
La voix de ceux qui ont tout gravi

Fighting addiction is
Playing a math game against yourself
Death, the queen of all ends, is the referee seated up there
You just have to wait for her to announce the freeing
"x-years sober and out"

Let the old sport talk to you—
This cocktail’s dull, anyway.
His wife’s half-heartedly looking for him,
And he knows better than you do
That in the end
No one’s going to applaud
Your daily struggle against yourself

It was in a moment of drifting or distraction
I had already started late
I allowed myself trivial digressions
The latest vacuum cleaner
Heating in every room
And just like that, the day slipped away down the empty boulevards

The algorithm isn’t hiding behind the glass.
If I break open my phone,
All I’ll find are islands of color
And tracks without a train,
Floating on a sea of green plastic.
Algorithm is our circuit boards’

I am the door closer
For the absent-minded who fell asleep
In seedy motels,
A portable radio on my belt, crackling out
Soft Louisiana melodies.

Some old, repressed somewhere,
Thousands of tiny candles,
Extinguished,
Piled up in the warehouse,
Waiting for the blaze

Caught counting the pixels behind the window

6th grade, tumor operation day, lunchtime
Sneaking into the forbidden school phone room
- Hello, is mummy still alive?

I was five, massive horses
In the field near my child home
They would recognize my simmering life anxiety

A disgraceful face,
Absorbed in the neighbors' love quarrel,
Smiles - there, a lovely dimple

A terasse under a tree (Sophora Japonica)
The leaves dancing in the last rays of sunlight,
People stop drinking and applaud

Filght in eco class
The curtains hide business seats
The ease, the Champaign and the mecanisms

Dragonflies
In the open space
Have no post-it colour preference
