MINDEBRIS

I

Modern life is a fraud croaking like a toad stuck in a shity pond

None at all can heal the ill

The only answer to our anguish is death in the dead of the night

Sudden loss of breath feeding oblivion 

And all the daylight anonymous monsters trapped in their beds

Fruits of robbered oysters in the trivial sequence of a fancy necklace.

Every word fails the meaning of pain and sinks the praises of pleasure

While the obscene marriage of sound and vision is taking place 

In the golden-plated junkyard built by staggering armies of obese-brained tycoons.

II

Epileptic waves will rip the cortex and large mouthfuls of darkness will strained the lips 

Of those who used to suck the thin juice of hypocrisy

But they will never learn to swallow, they will keep on rowing downstream heading for the watercolourfall

Blind in the light, bound to be torn and tortured by ten-miles long tongues come out of the largest industrial anus.

The vain search for our roots will end in some dark sticky bend of our over-civilized bowels, 

Stuffed with mass-media waste

Ruled by the over-inflated egos of a pathetic bunch of bald dwarves, obsessed with bank-made aesthetics

But hope still haunts the hopeless and the homeless who taught themselves not to believe anymore

Their skin still gets a tan in the broiling sun 

And in their saffron hair the thirstiest specimen of flea keeps crawling around safe and sound.

III

Loose losers turned to be resigned pilgrims on their way to the holy hollow temple of self-deception

Numb bare feet treading on short-sighted telescope lens

The last will crack and the flesh won't bleed not to stain the surface with vain red pain.

My will melts and my body falls into the inner flow that gathers the thick juice for the upper sponge

Wounded walls aching in my oneiric night shift

But their intrinsic irony has made me sick, laughing caused throat-sore and hypoxia:

The preface of "How to play with bodily decay".

Nevertheless I'm chewing on my polluted conscience and sniff its gaseous poison bursting in my mouth

So I can see the skeleton of my delirious odyssey 

And break every single rib of its ladder to climb backwards to the lowest and the least.
