Analysis of PHASE-SHIFT
Like someone who guesses, wiser than letters, he jumps off a tower built in a well, because he hated this Hyena Age a long time ago, like someone who keeps tripping over himself while walking. blind, so silently, like the dumb, in timeless order in the appointed time, so that the sign shines forth from the present on earth.
sometimes I am surrounded by unfulfilled friendships and sad promises from this useless, completely defective age, which I tend to take seriously. "We will visit you, old man, don't be afraid! We bring you hamburgers and Chinese food! Just don't let Life get in your way!" - they answer.
Someday I will surely make special mistakes where we can prepare an improved edition of my being. I can fill the cracks of Time with foolish dreams without remorse.
Looking for points of contact, I would wander like a restless Odysseus, who still hasn't found his place on firm ground. I know it well: alarming cameras drop the wire, the circle of the raiding lion pack closes.
A barbaric god looked me in the eyes and I was terrified of him, since I could be a defense lawyer - not so much - that they would kill me with certain methods. The world now speaks to us with squirming male pillars and manipulable propaganda: everything is controlled by the desire of the predatory hand. I became a mess. Being handcuffed to the silence of loneliness.
