At the café from nowhere
there's always a table available
to welcome the infinite.
Those who no longer have shadows
slip in through a crack in the unreal,
leaving a tip of melancholy in some
empty cup of afterlife...
A buccaneer who thinks he's Hemingway ,
having just arrived from from a distant planet
on the next street over ,tell us about star wars ...
He's quite the vet' who knows all the tricks
to fool immortality under his magacap ...
At the café from nowhere ,
the damned are playing a rugged game
that dead dispenses in a compassionate manner...
Magnificent losers picking up the last tab .
Mocking the poor lunatic poet who mourns
the fickle muse ...
I go there several times in my life and even
more than that ....
I've found a few autistic avatars who consider
themselves artists ...
Recognizing in me the ectoplasm of Kafka .
but that's just a dream dissolved in a moka cream...
I'm in love with this girl who never finishes her
poisoned elixir .
Artificial flower courted by indifference ,
Sometimes her green plant eyes looks
almost pleading ...
Saying ''Water me ! ''
I don't dare approache her
You know I'm not a gardener .
And bonsai don't have email ...
At the midnight of the worlds ,
when everything is nothing but appearances,
souls in pain have not to pay .
Nothingness makes credit .
at the entrance just hang your nooses
ans a few other hopes ...
Take a look at the infinity heading ,
we'll be talking about you there ...
the wait will keep you company .
and know that you will never leave again
the café from nowhere...

We never leave the Café - not because the doors are locked, but because there is simply nothing left outside. This Café is the world itself, compressed to the size of a cup of cooling coffee.
A transitional space on the trheshold of a quantum dimension ...
A quiet conversation with absurdity .
Surreal and deeply hauting ....
Once the threshold passed ,nothingness gives credit !
