Warm wind suffocates;
Stillness of night before the rain
Soon it will end.
Jimi Johnson Mar 2020
So I’m riding on a bus, late return, after movie and there’s this *** sitting on the side with a big sports bag tucked under his thighs. Leaning over, moaning, snorting in his age old handkerchief. He has IT, seen IT. Coming home from work, at midnight. Lonely and sad. Head all wrinkled, pensive. He’s sitting there and feeling the old man blues, just sitting, contemplating, man, just trying not to fall asleep, to return to his bed and his wife (probably), so the next day could go on and he could go on and be part of this machine-spinning-all-around-world. He could be like “hey, man, what’s your game, whatcha feel, man”. But nope, he’s beat, he’s beat to his feet, too little hair on his head, definitely too much in his nose and on his brows. “So what”, he would say, “what do I care, it’s all the game, man.” I got this feeling, that he’s seen it all, he’s a true man, a proto-deus creation. IT.

But what I know, I’m leaving on the next stop and probably won’t ever meet this friend of the world, delightful buddha on his journey.

I decided to go my way
and went
 Because what is the meaning
of all of this,  nothing.
 Their ideas were old
and they did wear old
 things

Old oak casts shadow
Shelter from the boiling heat
Road remains empty

I heard our song, I
was home; so long, now it's gone
and so are you

The city
A dark projection in rain
And iluminations
A quite friday night
Soft city, sleepy and void
Occasional invitation
To a night bar
And drunken yells
Drenched to the bone
Looking for you
Around every corner

Silence suddenly
Dismantled

“I want to be happy”
Just like that, because
There’s nothing else to do
No great threat, no great
Feels, feelings

“I want to be happy”
On this planet earth
On this buddha temple
But I can’t
Find
This that her

On this woe world
