Bar the door. The door is barred. We are safe. We are safe. The enemy rage outside, he will tire" (T.S Eliot) The morning sun places a thin film of sweat on my face. Naked streets, trash and dead people with no dreams left. Sounds, hard facts and reality everywhere. The crowded streets with myself in the middle. A forgotten existence, running and walking through the city of neon and concrete. A bartender serves whiskey with ice, amazed by my fresh voice. Drinking up all my money that I borrow every time.. Ain't got the blues, ain't got the courage to leave the scene. The smell of gasoline fills my soaked brain. I am a pilot of a plane who has lost the sense of direction. I fly and fly without a clue to where I am going. A new day is nothing more than the morning sun and the evening breeze. I want the life. My story of life is about the little one. Grey buildings rule the city, looking around for more power. I sleep by the black river under the moon, I live in the power of the city, waiting for the lightning man to strike. Fresh. Clean. Not contaminated like the other slaves of the city. Free to live. Not caught in the machinery where everybody who leaves need to be replaced with violence. Born in the seventies. Crushed in the nineties. Street-smart and old now. Opened up a bottle of champagne when the new century became visible, drank it and began to write. Bought a type writer, stole a couple of papers. Sitting by the river, writing the story of my life. My hands are typing fast - I still remember how to do it properly. Finish one page at the time, pulling it out and dropping it into the black river. See it float away and start with a new paper. It is always the same. Saw the last piece of paper float away a couple of years ago. The story of my life was to an end. I threw the typewriter into the river. The black water swallowed it with a dull sound. A few dark waves said good bye and left me alone. The wood to my coffin is the strong liquid, the nails are the cigarettes from the downtown shop. Toxic air, dead eyes, black sun glasses on blue robots who protect the slaves. A youth throw out some junk from a red chevrolet. I walk fast, but not too fast, to the garbage, picking it up, eating what can be eaten. Found a broken clock, a symbol for the exterminated time. Gives it to a friend for a dollar, buys something to drink. Feels death come back, disguised as life. Look at the drunk, they say. Look at his worn out clothes, his broken shoes. He has no knowledge, he is not educated. He is trash, he is nothing. I am a loser and they are the servants of the city. I prefer to be a drunk. I cannot do anything else. But I am educated. I know more than most people do, despite of my dirty shell. The blue sky has turned grey thanks to the thousands of chimneys that keeps on pumping out smoke as if they tried to race against each other. The slaves of the city race against each other in a desperate attempt to reach the highest position. They all want to make it. Make it to the house of the Gods. The house of the Gods are inhabited by the leaders of the city. Whatever they become, whatever they do, whatever they believe that they are, whatever they decide to do, everybody will soon die and never return to the city. Fire and forget while you got the chance, take what you can take. Eat the poor, kill the weak and race against the clock. Become a well oiled part of the machinery, thrust your kick out and praise your own slavery. Never look at any mirrors. The no mans land is my home. Here, I can walk around and look the the other people, who never sees me nor listens to my voice. The truth is dangerous, better stay away from the truth. Better look away and face the twisted facts. The reality is good as long as the reality is a cabaret for the controlled masses, the slaves. I am not a slave and a servant of the city. I am free but still trapped. My prison is my life. They took it away from me. Robots on a mission broke down my door, stole my computer, told me to fuck off and leave the nets alone. I wanted to know everything, how the world worked. That was not allowed at all, they said, and the slaves nodded to show the Gods that they fully agreed. I lost my machine, my friends and my job. I lost my home and was thrown out on the streets. The night will soon be over. A new day will come and give me another chance. I cannot hack any more, I can only dream about the past. I will never become a part of the city, I know too much about the real world. The blue robots will keep me away from the ordinary people forever. The sun arises from the polluted horizon and places once again a thin film of sweat on my face. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This weekend: seventeen nicks killed in a netsplit homicide!
