in my self defence...
In his self defense
The apocalyptical scenes of the Mad Max movies
Is not so far away these days
Looking through the dotty mash
On the window of the late hour train,
To where we call it home.
Only they had mashes made of steel,
We have money made commercials.
Tell me what color is the train?
So i can write a poem about it.
About the face,
That i saw on the other side of my window,
And about love,
Waiting on the station,
For his other half to come.
They tried to ban graffiti on the trains,
Now they stick to commercials
Tell me what color is the train?
In my defense...
The loss of love is greater,
Than the loss of trees.
The Rain forest doesn't hold enough water,
To match the flood of tears.
The loss of known patterns
Is greater than the loss of friends
I never was much of a dancer
The march of a hundred men,
Where numbers count to nothing?
Stumping feet demanding
The pattern of the next move.
That stampede of feelings
Goes through my ears
With its rhythm
Taking me away....
To the place they called home
The blank pages
Of things i have never written
They are my dancers in the wind
Me... myself... i never was much of a dancer.
Iron flaps of an iron shaft.
Rusted on the concrete wall,
Of the gray, closed down factory...
In the land that i love and call my mother...
Those are my dancers
They came without a fight
Waving flags of sympathy...
They took her and made her a slave...
I'd ask my brothers
To take them away...
In an infernal dance of war...
Me... i never was much of a dancer
In my defense
i forgot to write, because
i can update my status every single minute
On the book of faces
And i can change it right from wrong
From left to right.
The tone is my rhythm
The water line is sound...
The melody is the pattern.
So i wonder...
From time to time...
Can you tell me...
What color is the train?
He asks me: “can i seat down?”
In a strange language i don't understand
“no,” i reply. All of the sudden
I have two workers
Sitting next to me...
One, the one right next to me,
Smells of booze and sweat...
Left and right.
Both strangers.
i lay down my coat,
The silver edelweiss shines on it...
Why me?
Does it look i'm friendly?
i just need peace,
i need a war
To stay away from them.
Of what they represent.
They speak in codes,
i can clearly see their dark lips moving,
But i don't understand their words...
Their dark eyes,
This land has never given birth to...
The one sitting next to me sneezes...
1, 2, 3 times...
Spreading his disease...
i'm not a Nazi,
If i just don't want to catch anything from him.
Finally they leave
Than an old man with special needs
i could write a new chapter of Camus’ The Stranger
He's acting weird.
i wasn't the only one to notice,
Someone sitting next to me is smiling.
i smile back...
Than i notice it's just a reflection in the mirror
A reflection by the mash
That keeps me in...
In the prison of commercials
On the late night train...
