This morning I was walking down the avenue that led
to my destiny .( No further than my favorite café )
Already looking forward to a long solitary day
with my boisterous inner demons .
The sky over the flatland was gray and smelled of rain .
The banana king had promised us the apocalypse
for national day and went back into his box .
And just as the tragedy was looming ,
I ran into a young African lady (With no children in sight !)
who greeted me with beaming smile (?).
This time I had let my guard down !
suddenly the world became like the gaping abyss
of a mouth that seemed to be saying :
\'\' I recognize you ! \'\'
As if contemplating an object worthy of love...
Know this gentle passby :
The words of my poetry speak of love
only in a decomposed tense !
Happy people on a summer dawn
filled with bitter despair try to impose their law !
You ,blashemers who offend the sad happiness
of the quiet madman who no longer
seeks his shadow lost in the crowd ...
Disturbing encounter far from my trusty computer !
I would never go to Africa to die
from an epidemic of smiles !
It\'s always a magical moment
to come across an inspiration tinged with black humor
which may annoy the reader that follows established practices !
But maybe it\'s you who don\'t greet the unknown weirdo
who has stepped out of the crowd ...
My friend danger is everywhere !
A lethal smile can always pop up out of nowhere
along the path of your destiny ...
