Comment j'ai dit au revoir à mon téléphone portable et la faible valeur sentimentale que je lui associais et lettre ouverte à un yuppie.
ou les lois de la physique s'appliquant à ma poche arrière de jean
ont pris une décision que j'hésitais, lâche que je suis ("Seigneur prend pitié")
à prendre depuis quelque temps :
me débarrasser de mon portable.
J'ai vécu plus de 2 ans sans portable et la liberté que ça procure,
ne plus ressentir le fameux "quand est-ce qu'elle va répondre?",
donner un rendez-vous sans avoir à le reconfirmer 37 fois avant l'heure,
tout cela me manquait.
Alors que je pédalais, mon portable a donc glissé de ma poche arrière,
je ne l'ai pas senti, c'est en entendant le plastique, matière pitoyable,
se disloquer sur le goudron,
sous les yeux de la Renommée de la place de la République (vous aussi vous croyiez que c'était un ange,) que j'ai tourné la tête.
Le caoutchouc de mon pneu glissant, gracieux, en quart d'arc de cercle sur le goudron, je me suis arrêté
et j'ai regardé les trois morceaux de plastique et de composants électronique se faire rouler dessus par une,
_______________________deux,
_______________________trois,
_______________________quatre voitures,
je sourais,
jusqu'à ce qu'un 4x4, véhicule pitoyable, vienne gâcher mon plaisir.
Son conducteur, stéréotype en chemise rose saumon,
la montre aussi brillante que les gentes, a fait un petit écart afin de rouler pile sur ce qui restait de mon téléphone.
Sur le moment mes sentiments étaient très mitigés,
entre énervement et ce qui restait de mes quelque secondes de joies et d'amusement.
Avec le recul et la possibilité de mettre en mots l'exprimable je me rends compte de ce qui a causé cette confusion.
Cet homme, ce qu'il en restait,
ce qui n'a pas été disloqué par la perversion (le péché dirait certains,)
il ne savait pas que je m'en foutais de ce portable,
cet homme,
ce yuppie de merde il pensait me briser le coeur en brisant mon téléphone.
Si seulement il avait su.
Et si je pouvais lui parler, je lui dirai des mots que je n'ai pas écrit :
You are on this unhappy planet,
a carnivor,
a destructor of it*

Poeme!
I look up at the sky,
a blue sea within a sea
and see the white belly of a helicopter
that scatters a shoal of birds
and the clouds inside my head,
like a kiss on the cheek.
There is a dead pigeon on the pavement
with crimson brains besides it.
I'm sure the slick red ooze contains images
of concrete and millions of shoes.
Mine is hermetic,
hermetic to shower water
(the boiler works again.)
I realized that when i rode in the truck
with other harvesters glued to the side,
blank staring around,
in a late summer afternoon,
i thought
"There are fields inside their heads,
fields i'll never tread."
I don't really go out on vacation
but i am always on the road,
Sal Paradise in a cage of bone.
I look up at a green light.
Trafic is dense,
_______I zig zag.
Pedestrians and cars are bathed in golden light.
_______Slither and skid.
Concrete gray,
red plastic in a hole and blue,
gold in a globe and heaven hue.
_______Zig zag some more,
see heaven through dirty sunglasses
i'm running the nicest of races
and my heart is the only muscle that isn't sore.
_______Red light.
I remember when we sat in the park before the sun,
it drowned in azure, spit light
and tangled in hair.
Mind spat words.
In front of us a sample of humanity was walking
in the cold.
The blue sky betrayed them
like it betrayed me earlier when it forgot to say
The sun is bright but not warm today.
A sample of childhood ran around the cages
in parentless bliss
throwing stones at animals.
Donkeys like goldfish.
I used to do the same
and on compassion :
God never forgot us,
He was never there.
Un long poème pour me faire pardonner mon oisiveté.
Une chanson qui apparait discrètement au début de ce poème (une merveille soit dit en passant, Léon ne me contredira pas) :

"Faut respecter toutes les marques"
mais en triant mes SMS hier soir (de temps en temps, il faut,) j'ai retrouvé cette phrase, oui je l'avais enregistrée dans un message.Cette magnifique transition pour attirer votre attention sur le blog de Valérian, le collage au top du top, pas les collages de grains de riz sur rouleaux de pq pour la fête des mères ou autres gommettes, non du grand collage, du collage d'homme, en somme, bref:

poème (updated)
I'LL GO WITH YOU
One cloud is enough to cover the sun
and in the garden
my cousin swings life away,
as a kid would.
She reminds me of the time when
i swung life away too,
close to the cherry tree and
only bothered by the asparagus plant
that stroke my leg and that i found ugly.
It was forbidden to touch it.
I'm not even sure that plant ever gave asparaguses,
what i'm sure of is that i grew older.
Today, i left the city for the wild country
to find sunflowers all lined up and sad.
The wind makes ripples
in the rye like waves.
I finish a can of tonic
and stare from the plastic chair
reclining back on fragile legs
and sink in an abyss.
When i once left
on a dock called August,
i didn't think twice.
What would i do now?
What should i do now?
Every night i walk the streets
of dogs and newspaper headlines,
of scattered sounds and pouring rain
of pearls and pills
and on a different continent
i see the same faces.
Last night, i was thinking of a big clipper ship
and a beer can showed me one
as it rolled on the sidewalk
from a bum's corner.
AMSTERDAM MAXIMATOR 11.6%
Brewed in the Finest Tradition
SUPER STRONG.
While locking my bike i heard him play
some notes i could not recall immediatly
but that i was sure i knew.
On a not so beat-up guitar
with a sticker i could not figure out,
he played I wish you were here by Pink Floyd
as Gab did,
maybe a little less well.
I wish Gab could have been there to tell him
"you should play it like this,"
but nobody says should to a bum
and nobody says I'll go with you
either.

Sous peu un poème qui me donne du fil à retordre depuis un petit moment.Monday, July 20, 2009
Poème
HOLIDAY INN
Hold on to the memory it's all you've got.
Things have changed.
In good and in bad,
and i hadn't.
Tears, laughs,
boxes, questions about life,
phone calls and bills,
no impact,
until tonight.
I don't want to know what time it is
or what time it is not.
The streets to the hill
still wind around
in the night and good times go.
One a.m., two or three
it makes no difference to me
because i am where i want to be
by myself,
for tonight no better company.
Tomorrow is a different story.
Yesterday was i know now,
at the time i didn't,
when it spoke no words i could hear
and showed nothing i could see
is that what they call destiny?
A light for the blind
and to yesterday's poison an antidote.
A few words on a note
might not change the world
but it can save a man,
a man who doesn't want to change.
