Have you heard the story of a smartphone 

bathed in moonlight that rings out in the night ?

Or one impromptu who knocks at the door ,

Shouting  :  ''  That's death ! '' 

 sometimes ,a  psychopathic clown  

coming back from  childhood ...

  Dude ,you'll better have the big start user guide ! 

   '' It's me ,I 'll never be here again ...

leave me a mail ,my double will replay .

   I love you !  '' 

On the nightstand ,a tube of eternal sleep dozes off 

in the arms of a bottle of vodka .

  '' this is Saturn calling :  Houston we have a problem !''

There are still a few spots left on the red planet .

Feet sticking out from under the white sheet ,

cool in the lagoon ...

 It's me , why won't you answer me  ?

the children are sleeping .Their blind eyes filled 

with wonder as they gaze at the stars ! 

   I love you ! ''

A sudden depression swallows up all the dreams.

the little wooden horses leap out of the carousel ...

  You're not alone !

Drunken flies buzz around the flickering lamp ,

roasting their wings as they revel in their final flight...

'' It's me ,I am waiting for you on the Bay bridge .

Come right away and wrap up warm ,in the afterlife

it's so cold there !  Do you love me ? '' 

  sometimes you wish you had been a passager 

on the Titanic ...

   '' Captain ! captain ! We're sinking ! 

       - I don't care ! ''

No matter how hard I search my memory 

- which  is being overwhelmed  

by killer waves of vodka .

 I can't seem to find that darn modus vivandi anymore .

 I must have left it in Lilith's diaper .

   Dude ,without soporific instructions ,

we're lucky to stay crazy  ...
