To make a hole in a day as a nap
before we make the great leap into space
I have a dull pain in my eyes
through the invisible cosmic rays
man walks on the planet earth
A death mask stolen, of James Joyce
The total distance walked during their lives
I make love to the days
Difference between sameness and difference is same
A street, 1000.01 lightyears long
The dead have left their marks
All the Information of Mankind on the Earth
immortalized in the logbook of the past
I didn’t sleep well last night
Man Walks on Moon
when the people will have lost their remembrance
For all those who have lived and died
how empty is this space?
Sameness between difference and sameness is different
A street, 1000.02 lightyears long
I am going to sleep forget it
before mankind once and for all, enters space
I still have a pain in my eyes
raining cosmic rays
it’s all right if you are there
together into something new
Difference between sameness and difference is same
A street, 1000.03 lightyears long
Sameness between difference and sameness is different
A street, 1000.04 lightyears long
