Title : THE OLD COACH ROAD (10)




COMPUTER GENERATED POETRY (2)


SPIDER MAN
You ask me for the newspaper
and only want to see what happens next
you need some life, you fool
you have lost contact
with your past
and future
and present
and the end

TRAVEL
travellers on the subway
chase future across the city
they spend a lot of time in sidewalk cafes
hating to live
hating to die
they play their games
and you've been there before

AN OLD PHOTOGRAPH
people who never knew you
have heard about you
donīt give them your feelings
suddenly
someone hands you an old photograph
that makes you cry
yes, you can run but you can't hide

POKER PLAYERS
people who want to join you
they look like mannequins
they play poker in the back room
no matter what they say
you wake up feeling tired
and it breaks your heart to discover
that pain and pleasure are the same

SEASAW
old men brag about themselves
they look like faces in your dreams
you got your clues
drink until dawn
the lilac walls smell of some mildew
but answers were here all that time
and you can't turn your back on them
