Hold on...
[...everyone avoid you
but cordially of course
whispering about a patient
affected by a strange disease
something venereum
or whatever annoying
like a cancer in the ass
too embarrassing to talk about...]
1)
You will not find job
at the employment office
Only long queues slow
frowning faces
unshaven jaws
and glances lost
An empty eyes employee
will certified your card
Then you go to the bar
the nearest one
to drink in silence
something strong and cheap
The television echoes
and the bad news
buzzing in your ears
You back home quite drunk
enough social life
until next month
The friends fade
everyone avoid you
but cordially of course
Whispering about a patient
affected by a strange disease
something venereum
or whatever annoying
like a cancer in the ass
too embarrassing to talk about
The compassion of others
has a indefinite flavor
between pity and contempt
and you're chewing
the taste of solitude
2)
The Market downloaded you
one day already far
"would be provisional!"
You claimed around
You should stand firm
just keep composure
to maintain and strengthen
the structures in your mind
the solid houses of knowledge
inhabited by thoughts
But the phone does not ring
the mirror reflects
Your face of fifty
and the doubt assails you
Awaken in the morning
suddenly, with anguish
at the time to go to that job
you no longer have
The feelings liquefy
you are prone to cry
and to self compassion
The creeping weeds
already own the village
powerful branches and roots
tearing the walls
and crush the foundation
The convictions fall powerless
plunging into deep waters
of the darkest pessimism
Thoughts forsake you
a slow exodus of inhabitants
fleeing from the town
devoured by mold and parasites
Even the inner desires
buried in remote folds of mind
leaves in a slow funeral
cause nobody addresses
a prayer of hope to them
Then you collapse in
and a wicked death
takes you stealthily
with a treacherous kiss
No glory, no light
the coffin closes
Finally, a white coat
uncover your skull
and digs in the mud
only finds your bones
blackened by time and regret
You R.I.P. on the chair
in front a running PC
still waiting
a impossible call.
