CHICKEN & STUFF



the sitting me, waiting for the plane
the sitting me, transported to the plane
the sitting me, before the picture of the plane

out of words
a man like a dog
won't stand until the call

the sitting me, not eating when he flies
the sitting me, this time I needed the food
the sitting me, a chunk of white meat

chicken flesh
a soul raised from Hell
cruel punishment, reborn in a chicken farm

the sitting me, white face of the Moon
the sitting me, an arm stretching over the Black sea
the sitting me, chicken-flesh inside of me

coming back from Paris
I won't find many words on that airplane
but what's to do?

  1. all the sitting we
    seeing thinking feeling
    but always motionless unchanging
    and not acting...

    crying is not enough
    impotent words
    that lead our souls
    to nothingness

    and then again
    if we want to survive
    what could we do
    believing in peace and love
    but vanich in stillness
    in a world of starving demons ?

    and yet I hope and wait
    for a voice ringing clear
    that could wake up
    all the sitting we ...

    //impotent words
    that lead our souls

    Those are the words I was
    searching for, and not,
    and yet I wonder:
    Do we need them, the potent words
    that could lead our souls
    to somethingness?

  3. Impotent or potent words
    aren’t what we need
    New means of communication
    Real “empathie” not only sympathy…
    and a true language
    That can’t translate lies…
    I know I got a dreaming mouth
    that always cries :
    Future won’t live without
    A planet wide song
    I hear the voice of the earth soul from time to time
    Yet more often I feel its moans cutting deep in me
    and their laments are bleeding my heart
    forcing my two solitary hands to grasp for guidance
    then coming back empty,
    finding none that are powerful and true enough
    to stop these demonic empire

    but I go on trying
    I will keep hope
    for the sake of my children
    for the sake of Ez and you and others I care for
    for the sake of beauty music poetry...
    for the sake of love

  4. We don’t need to hear for « reacting »
    But yes a human needs to listen and hear THE CALL
    Why move at all if all we need -all we want – all we know - is trapped in us or come only from within ? are we so selfish so sure we have THE ONLY TRUTH ?
    what is the meaning of life if we don't melt with others ? and how could you do it without hearing them calling you when there are in need or ready to welcome you ?
    We don’t need a call from each others for standing up We need to hear each others to know how and when to act
