THIS TOWN

Σουρ(γ)εάλ…

Ήξερες ότι το κλίμα θα γινόταν αρνητικό
όταν θα τους έλεγες το μισθό
στην προηγούμενη σου εργασία.

Χίλιαπεντακό…

Αυτή η λεπτομέρεια
–μαζί με τα 15+ χρονάκια
εμπειρίας στο χώρο –
είχε στις φάτσες των εργοδοτών
την ίδια επίδραση
που θα είχε ο συνδυασμός
κατάποσης ξινισμένου χυμού
και προσπάθειας για συγκράτηση αερίων
με συνεπαγόμενο οξύτατο πόνο στα έντερα.

Εσύ όμως ήσουν αυτός
που κατάπιε την πίκρα του
όταν άκουσες το «μάνατζερ»
(των χρημάτων
της απουσιάζουσας
ιδιοκτήτριας
)
να απαντάει στο ερώτημα:

«Τι θα το κάνετε το μαγαζί;»

«Θα είναι εστιατόριο,
κλαμπ,
μπυραρία…
εεε»
[ κίνηση χείρας στον αέρα,
αυτή που πετάει
κάθε σοβαρότητα
πίσω απ’ τη πλάτη ]
«…και καφετέρια!»

Ήθελες να το πεις
μα σώπασες…

«Το μπαλέτο τι ώρα βγαίνει;»

...............…Roadside Attraction

No Pun Unintended

A Life Without Substance Is Not Worth Living.

Οι μαγαζάτορες, ναι, να το καταλάβω. Χρειάζονται την καταναλωτική φρενίτιδα των εορτών για να πουλήσουν την πραμάτεια τους. Άμα βλέπω όμως σπίτια στολισμένα «εορταστικά» από τα μέσα Νοεμβρίου… τότε πλέον οι ευχάριστες παιδικές αναμνήσεις ξεθωριάζουν σε κάτι που δεν είναι τίποτα άλλο παρά αντανακλαστικά ενός ντοπαρισμένου πόντικα σε εργαστήρι πειραμάτων.
Heroin, Heroin and Cocaine…

Αγαπητό μου Ιστολόγιο…

Τις προάλλες έκλεισες
πέντε χρόνια ζωής
και ‘γω σκεφτόμουν
πως αν ήσουν σκυλί
θα λογιόσουν ενήλικας.
