Summary

 

 

Where am I? What have I done?

I will never go anywhere

Suicidal No More

I wish I was a bum

Los Angeles already has its hook on me

I don’t want to fall in love again!

Permanent Summer with Palm Trees and Canyons

I’m a pussy

My Great Shitting and Peeing Period

I’m a Pedophile

I can kiss my career in politics goodbye

Why have I not thought of that first?

Whatever it is you couldn’t stand about me

My Imaginary Girlfriend

My Real Boyfriend

You can rape me all you want

My new big venture will destroy everything

How and why has this reached me?

I’m closer than ever

Can I be even more metaphysical than that?

My Island

Los Angeles does not really exist

One billion deaths is not enough for me

Private Equity, our New Religion

We may still save humanity in America

The extinction of humanity

Hail to the bugs, the true leaders of this world

Awareness in San Francisco

My Rough Edges

Do I have to be completely off my mind?

My attempt to find happiness

Child Suicide

Jesus Christ was a Homosexual

I must be drunk to provoke you like that

I came to Los Angeles to become a positive force

I Feel Elated!

My Darkest Thoughts

Beyond that Californian Mountain

I want to be a Damn Modern Californian Hippy!

Who else can I destroy?

Study your symbolism, for god’s sake!

Genius

You tried to get me sacked, this is War

The World is filled with Backstabbers

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, I’ve been told to stop talking about my sexuality

Drinking yourself to death in L.A.

They’ve been testing me, like a rat!

You’re not so cool after all

A Cool Summer Day in London

Oh my God! How will I survive this?

Reaching an L.A. Crisis

I finally went to Disney Land, Heek!

Got to get back to some sense of normality

It always comes back to that, isn’t it?

Where the fuck am I?

I thought you were dead

Feeling orgasmic about… another project

500,000 people in New Orleans need mental health services

The Decline of the Gay American Empire

I’m in Awe!

I fell in love in Cannes

Tomorrow will be such a great day all over L.A.!

Sweet Chinese Girl

I can get away with murder, remember that

I’m Unstoppable!

Power is nothing

Tomorrow, we’re all sick

One more day in the Bible Belt, and I might have to shoot you all

Desperate for a gun in America

The Mormon’s Disney Land in Utah

What Salt Lake City has got to offer

Let me buy you out just to shut you up

Just continue to follow the trends

Compensating for being Extra Fat

I’m Dying Here!

I’ve survived another suicide attempt

I cannot be trusted, I will fail every time

Qu’en pensez-vous?

Hounslow West, my Lesser Hell

I’m crying for London again!

Another legal action against me

Wild in L.A.

Desperately Seeking Pubic Lice Lotion in L.A.

Completely screwed up

There’s no end to it

Tonight I am alive!

I Shall be Free!

There is still hope for me

You must think I’m an old pervert

Notice of Resignation, The Perfect Sample Letter

Leaving Los Angeles

Garage Sale, a Bargain!

Whatever your achievements, it will always be useless

Living beyond everyone’s expectations

Do we need to alienate the whole world?

I have lived! And now I can die…

 

 

Where am I? What have I done?

 

I am lost

Took a wrong turn at some point

And now I have been shipped to L.A.

Without my will

Without being aware

Just followed destiny

The path all laid out for me

Destiny must be wrong

I don’t feel right

I belong to London

I belong to England

Oh my King, will you ever forgive me

For abandoning you like this

Sacrificing everything for something I don’t believe in

Seemed so attractive at the time

Seemed so promising and filled with opportunities

Which have not materialized

Perhaps it is because I have done nothing since I am here

I have not tried to connect to anyone

I am so tired

Just thinking about doing anything is a killer

I just want to go to bed and sleep forever

I have no more dreams

No more goals

I am as good as dead

Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

Killed my last hope

 

Summary

 

 

I will never go anywhere

 

You can have all the talent in the world

You can have all the potential that you will ever need

You can be driven to madness with your work

And write and write and write until you drop dead

You can have produced everything there is under the sun

You can have done it all and then done it all again

And yet, you are not going anywhere anytime soon

You can move closer to the buzz

You can be right in the middle of it all

Where it is all happening

And yet, nothing is happening

Nothing will ever happen

You are stuck on this planet forever

With nowhere to go

Nothing to hope for

Disillusioned by what life has to offer

For your happiness at least

The void, the big large void

You have never existed

You will never exist

Thirty years completely wasted

 

Where would I be today

Without those stupid dreams

That drove me to insanity?

Not in Hollywood, that’s for sure

What was I thinking?

I must be mad

How can I correct my mistake?

How can I go back in time

And stop this from ever happening

How can I just erase those last few months

How can I change my life for the better?

 

Is there not a quick guide

An instruction book somewhere?

To make everything easier

To prevent you from destroying your life

And the life of others who love you?

 

I am in a Black Hole

The biggest of all

At the end of the funnel

I’ll be crushed

I think I’ve reached that point

There is no going back

No one escapes Black Holes

You would have thought I would have seen it coming

You would have thought I would have found a way out

Dreams make you blind

Dreams bring your downfall

 

I will have to pay for my mistakes

I will never go anywhere

Ever again

 

Summary

 

 

Suicidal No More

 

I told myself

No more will I think of suicide

No more will I be so depressed

I need some positivism in my life

It is all psychological anyway

I just have to change my attitude towards life

 

I was going to become alive

Under the great Californian sun

I was going to grow

Be more mature

Finally become an adult

Take my responsibilities

Sort myself out

 

You don’t change

You can move

You can forget your past

You can re-organize your life

You never change

 

At least I am not suicidal anymore

It is all psychological anyway

I do not let these thoughts come alive

I no longer drink myself to death

And let the devil in

Temptation, temptation, temptation

The little devil is coming back in

I can’t stop him

I’ll have to become suicidal again

 

I have not found what I was looking for in L.A.

A few palm trees out of my window

A Californian driving license

A tour of all the studios in Burbank

Just won’t do the trick

 

I don’t belong to this world

Even if I were to belong

I cannot belong in just a small capacity

That’s not me, that’s not what I want

I don’t want to be a name in the final generic

I want to be central to my revolution

I want to create the biggest revolution ever

I want to have such an impact

It will shake the planet

 

Oh, now I understand what my problem is

Of course there’s no solution

To my insatiable thirst for power

I want to be a force of nature

Who could ever be a force of nature?

I could not, it is impossible

 

Anyway

I’m afraid

Palm trees

Just won’t do

 

Summary

 

 

I wish I was a bum

 

Work tomorrow

I would do anything not to go

I’ve got to work on my other projects tonight

I would do anything not to

I’ve got some dreams to make come true

I would do anything to just forget about it all

 

I wish I was a bum

With no jobs

With no aspirations

Without a dream

 

So simple life could have been

Just be a bum

Don’t worry about anything

No more stupid ideas

No more obligations

No more anything

Just live your day to day bum’s life

What a wonderful concept!

 

Instead of being a corporate drone

Instead of being an industry whore

Instead of being a bitch and be control by bitches

Just be a bum!

 

Save yourself the trouble

No more work ever!

No more responsibilities ever!

No more goals to achieve, ever!

Just go back where you came from

And just die there on some social securities

Or just make your bed somewhere on a lost street

Or in a park in the woods

Eat from the garbage cans

Or find some eatable roots or something

Or just let yourself die in the gutter

Perfect for me

 

That’s what I’ll do next

Let me work on it

Let me reorganize my schedule to make it come true

Let me start dreaming about it

It is my next big goal in life

 

I’ll become a bum

Your first rate bum

And I’ll be the happiest bum alive

Without the faculty of thinking

 

How I wish I was a bum…

 

Summary

 

 

Los Angeles already has its hook on me

 

I’m afraid to admit it

I don’t want to realize it

Dear, dear, dear

Los Angeles has already won my heart

I would not be able to live without it

And yet, I am already in love with England!

What am I gonna do?

I cannot have a home in both places

Though I think this is what I will have to do

Six months here, six months there

No other solutions

I now have two lovers

Too much love that I can deal with

Extraordinary how one little trip downtown can do to you

When you feel you are right in the center of the universe

There is nothing beyond Burbank

Anyone of any importance is here

No ideas go anywhere if it does not first go through Burbank

It is so well concentrated in the same area

I wonder why terrorists never thought of launching an attack

It is where the real power is

 

Can I be so easily impressed?

Am I such a loser?

Weak

Impressionable

I have not learned anything, have I?

I won’t leave this place

Better work at bringing my other lover here

Let’s work it out somehow

I’m not going back

Los Angeles has done something to me

And I don’t like it

 

And I thought I could never fall in love again

 

Summary

 

 

I don’t want to fall in love again!

 

I am guilty!

I have betrayed everything that I loved!

I secretly wanted it so badly

And now that it has happened

I can’t stand it!

It is tearing me apart!

I don’t want to fall in love again!

 

God please help me

Make sense of it all

What is it that I fell in love with?

Is it just an idea, a concept?

Is it more profound than that?

This history of places, of people, of deaths?

Somewhere in Maryland, in New Mexico, in the Nevada Desert?

Having Death Valley around the corner?

Losing myself in the dunes, the sun, the infinite…

Is this what I fell in love with? Tell me

Is there a cure?

Was I allowed to see too much?

Was it too soon?

Was I ready to fall in love again?

I don’t think so

Now it has happened

I have to deal with it

I have to

Somehow

 

I was already in love with the greatest cutest little thing

It was called England

It was my playing field

And believe me I played hard there

I am crying again, and again, and again

Everything there is to cry

The most beautiful thing ever

So sweet and so much in love with me

How could I ever trade you for anything else?

I could never

I would prefer to die

 

The floodgate is opened

The tornadoes are raging

The earthquakes are comin’

 

I am at the dawn of a new life

I can see it emerging in front of my eyes

It is huge

It is powerful

It is far reaching

It is all I have ever hoped for

The price to pay might just be too much

 

It is too late now

I’m already in love

Again

 

Summary

 

 

Permanent Summer with Palm Trees and Canyons

 

What is there not to love in the San Fernando Valley?

It is always sunny

From whatever direction you look at

Sure enough you will see

Palm Trees

Mountains

Clean sidewalks

Little white houses

Purity to infinity

Innocence of a world

That has nothing to do with Hollywood

My universe is of a bright white

Immaculate

Puts all your thoughts in order

Of a tranquility not found in London

Suburbs of Los Angeles

With canyons in every directions

Topanga Canyon is the closest

Huge rock face with weird flowers and cacti

After it is Malibu Beach

Miles of sand with blue water

The Californian coast a few miles away

The heat of the sun keeps my balcony floor warm at night

And when it rains, it is a nice little rain

My simple little life

Without any worry whatsoever

It could easily be

If I would let it be

 

I can tell the time by where the sun or the moon is in the sky

Right over my head, it is noon or midnight

The shadow of the trees can also tell me

Where I am

What I am thinking

Inspiration for a lifetime

The kind of surge I get only years later

Once I have lost it all

 

I could never come back

It would never be the same anyway

These magical moments only exist at that very second

After that it is gone forever

And you have to go for the adventure

To find new inspirations

If ever you can find such moments again

 

I am about to lose it all

I can feel it

Got to cherish those moments while they last

They won’t last much longer

It could never be the same

It’s great when you don’t have to wait

Until you have lost it

To understand

That peaceful existence

Of a perfect moment in time

 

Summary

 

 

I’m a pussy

 

Bitch

I can’t believe you called me a pussy

When your own definition of a man being a pussy

Is a man that acts like a woman

So you are a pussy then

And that is acceptable by your definition

Because you are a woman

And all women by your definition

Are pussies

Great!

 

I want to be a pussy too

And it is my right

It is not reserved for bitches like you

I won’t act the man thing for you

I won’t do what I’m supposed to do

I won’t be what society tells me to be

So if I want to be a pussy like you

I will

And you better get use to it

Bitch

 

I will be as pussy as I always wanted to be

As deep as I feel it necessary to be

It is not a woman thing

It is my thing

I’m pussy!

And I love it!

You bitch!

 

So maybe you will now have to take the strong role

Be manly for a change

Call me after 48 hours following our first date, why not?

You are strong

You are the woman

You’re in control now

Over the pussies that we have become

I don’t care if I have to carry that baby

Change the nappies

Stay home and enjoy life while you go to work

And suffer those bastards

I don’t mind at all

Bitch

 

Be strong for a change

You’ve always worn the trousers anyway

You have always been dictating around here, haven’t you?

Well, you might as well be called the man of the house then

So I can be a pussy all I like

Bitch

 

You will never have that excuse again

You will never be a pussy in my eyes ever again

You are stronger than I am

So start acting like it

Start acting like a man!

Like the man you are!

Don’t be a pussy anymore

And let me be a pussy for a while

And you’ll see

It will change the world

 

I’m a pussy!

And I’m proud of it!

And it will change the world!

 

Summary

 

 

My Great Shitting and Peeing Period

 

I don’t know about you

But when I go to the toilets

I first have a shitting period

Then I have a peeing period

And then it is all over and I feel good again

 

I feel much better now

That I have shat that here

 

I bet these few lines have disturbed you a bit

I guess you probably don’t feel great naked then

Fully feeling sexual and ready to fuck all night long

Feeling great in your own skin

That needs feeding and drinking

Taking care of

Before the wrinkles of old age

Make you ugly and disgusting

 

You easily forget these wonderful

Shitting and peeing periods

And then it is over

And you can feel great again

You easily forget you even shit and pee sometimes

 

You are so perfect, aren’t ya?

Pure and innocent!

Must be disturbing when we think of you as on the toilets

Having a great shit

It comes out of you, you know

It is you

It is one of the processes that make you a human being

And that is all we are

Shitting and peeing people on the toilets

Feeling bad all the time

Until we satisfy these most basic processes

That define who we are as a species

 

Well, I am not hypocrite

I go to the bog

I shit and I pee and I feel better afterwards

I am a naked person

I feel great in my skin

I feel sexual all night long

I do not deny who I am

I have no taboo like you

And hence

I have no deep psychological problem either

Stopping every great project in its track

I am getting somewhere

You are not

Because you cannot accept the fact

That you shit and pee and are sexual beings

Like every other person on the planet

And that is what defines

You

 

Summary

 

 

I’m a Pedophile

 

Scandalizing you?

Impossible…

 

God

I don’t know what to invent anymore

To scandalize you

You are made of steel

Nothing has reached you so far

How many of these texts have I written in the last ten years?

I’ve lost count

And yet, you are still here reading this

Or are you?

 

Maybe why you are not scandalized yet

Is that you never read me before now

That would explain everything

And I’m still there trying

To be more extreme

Since the first time it obviously did not work

Without understanding

That it will one day

Beyond any hope

Just need a big publicity machine

 

I will be branded

As the most scandalizing author ever

Without even having mentioned once the word

Pedophile

 

You’ve got to give me credit for that

Sometimes I think it might be the only thing

That could really scandalize you

I won’t say it

Don’t worry

No need to go to prison just yet

 

Pedophile, pedophile, pedophile…

 

I’m just flirting with you

I am having you going there

For a while

I’m laughing at you

I’m not laughing with you

That’s for sure

 

I thought it was easy to scandalize you

I now understand that it is impossible

My years of writing

Have been in vain

Somehow describing to you

Me having sex with a little boy

Would not scandalize you either

It will just bring me to prison

If I can admit that I desire that

 

After saying this

Surely I am it

I am a pedophile

Yet you would have a hard time proving it

Do you need proof?

Perhaps not

Oh well

Let’s go to prison then

To protect your children

Against monsters like me

 

Fuck you!

I never had any desire for your children

They can all die peacefully in their bed tonight

I don’t give a toss

Yeah, I guess I could be blamed

For wishing their early death

And somehow

That must feel nicer to your ears

Than if I wanted to have sex with them

 

So be it

I would settle for the eradication

Of all children

That’s a nice compromise

No more winging ever!

Oh my god!

What a paradise!

 

Perhaps we should also include all old people

I would not mind eradicating them as well

They serve no purpose

They smell bad and are annoying with their long gone memories

And their pension is just a drain on my taxes

They think they know everything

They don’t even know how the computer works

Let alone DVD recorders

They know shit

And we are supposed to trust them?

No way!

Kill them all!

 

Are you scandalized now?

No?

Damn!

It is getting harder and harder…

 

Summary

 

 

I can kiss my career in politics goodbye

 

I was so looking forward to it

I wanted to be Governor of California

And from there jump higher

And be second in command

Until they change the law

And take full power

 

I was so looking forward to it!

I had it all planned in my head

Take over America

And then the world!

 

My motivations after all

Are the same as the actual President

I want to be rich

I want to be powerful

I want to kill everyone else

And steal their natural resources and money

You cannot deny that this is what we have been doing for centuries now

So as I am just a normal person

There is nothing that should prevent me from becoming President

 

Oops!

I was not supposed to admit to it?

I was just supposed to do it

Having all these journalists denouncing it

But yet never confirm it?

And then it would be acceptable?

 

Silly me

I guess I can kiss my career in politics goodbye

 

Summary

 

 

Why have I not thought of that first?

 

So many great ideas out there

Genius lurking in every corner

More imagination than the ocean has water

It is all there for me to grab

To hear, to watch, to eat

Oh oh

Burp!

Indigestion… heart burns…

Need a Zantac again

 

Why have I not thought of that?

I’m supposed to be the genius here

To have written every single book

On every single subject

And yet!

That escaped me!

I did not think of it first

It is a killer

 

So many great ideas out there

So much imagination

Cool, perfect, genius

Why, oh why, oh why?

Have I not thought of it first?

Is it that killing job I have?

No time to think anymore?

No more inspiration?

Quick quick…

I need to come up with something

Some genius thought

I need to think of that one first

I need to think of the next great idea

There are still plenty out there

Not everything has already been thought of

I can still claim being a genius

I hope I am not too late

I hope I will find the investors to get it out there

The marketing and PR machine to prove

That I thought of it first

And then collect my pay check

 

But what about everything else out there?

That I have not thought of?

I guess you were mistaken

That’s no great idea

That’s not imagination

That’s no genius

It’s nothing

 

Anyway

I thought of it first

Otherwise, it just does not exist

It puts me to sleep

Yawn!

 

Oh god, oh god, oh god…

It is not true

Where was I when they thought of that?

Dead or dying, surely

So many great ideas out there

Why have I not thought of it?

 

A sea of great ideas remain to be uncovered

I’ll get right on it

You can be sure

That from now on

I’ll be the one to think of that first

 

Summary

 

 

Whatever it is you couldn’t stand about me

 

Is it the packaging?

I know, pretty cheap, got no money

But you are rich I hear?

The sell by date?

I’ve long passed my sell by date

But never mind

You are rotten to the core

My frontal bar code?

Well, I’m sure it would not work with your mind reader

Is it my third eye?

My big mouth?

My bad teeth?

Do I have bad breath?

Oh, must be my brain

I was born deformed, I know

Compared to your perfection, that is

Is it my personality?

When I did not laugh at your boring jokes?

They put me to sleep, dear

Sorry

Is it because I’m always drunk?

Well, feel yourself lucky

To do what you ask of me

I would need to be drugged to full capacity at all time

What is it?

Tell me! Tell me!

My lack of enthusiasm when you wanted to enslave me?

Cos’ I have an excuse for that one

I was sick that day

You make me sick, dear

Just for being you

 

Maybe this is what you could not stand about me

That I could not stand you in the first place

Summary

 

 

How and why has this reached me?

 

Is it possible that I am not wasting my time?

Is it just possible that I am reaching out

To at least one of you?

 

Years and years

Of working so hard

To accomplish that great destiny

That I thought I was building for myself

Could it be all wasted?

Really?

 

How and why has this reached me then?

I bought it

I played it

It made my life more bearable for a moment

Might even had a bigger impact

My escape from reality

My dream world

 

Someone thought of it

Got it started

Managed to get a team around it

They all made a difference

To my life

It is now a little bit more bearable

 

It has reached me!

It had an impact!

It was an idea someone had

Not even a good one

By my standards

And yet

It helped me escaped my life

It means something

It means everything to me

 

I cannot think

For one moment

That I am wasting my time

Wasting my life

I am building something

That could potentially reach

A few of you out there

 

And then you can ask

How and why has this reached you?

You’ve got to let me know

If it has helped you

Escape your life

Your mental disorder

Your hell of an existence

You have to suffer every day

 

Then I’ll know

That it is no coincidence

Everything exists for a purpose

 

Every life there is

Who contributes

To alleviate my pain

Deserves to exist

You worked on this

Which had a big impact on my life

It has reached me

It meant something for a while

It was the perfect moment in time

For me to receive it

I’m grateful

 

And I know now

That I’m not wasting my time

Creativity serves a purpose

No matter how small a part

You play in it

For it to come to life

 

This has not reached me by accident

This has not reached you by accident

 

Summary

 

 

I’m closer than ever

 

I’m told

I’m closer than ever

Of achieving all that I have been working for

In the last two decades

 

Somehow I can’t believe it

Somehow I feel it is just not true

I’ve been disappointed before

I’ve been deceived before

This time around

Is no different

 

How could it be?

Just because I am now living in Los Angeles?

What are you talking about?

It makes no difference

Not to me anyway

Not to anyone else anyway

 

I’m not closer than ever

To achieving my dreams

If anything

I am now completely disillusioned

It won’t happen

 

Perhaps I lack the determination

Maybe I lack the strength

I don’t know

I’m ready to let it all die

Quietly

As if it had never existed

My achievements

My future ones as well

All dead

 

I’m just too tired

To even think about it

I have already accepted my failure

I’m ready to go back

To wherever it is that I come from

If one can tell me

I just forgot

Through all my endeavors

Where it is that I come from

 

It must not have been anywhere

Of any real significance

Or else, I would remember

Where it is that I come from

I guess that

When you reach Los Angeles

Nothing that came before

Still exists

 

I am a nobody

From nowhere

Never did anything worthwhile

And I will die as such

As quickly as possible

Would be fine by me

 

I’m closer than ever

Somehow just

Does not ring true

Sorry

 

Summary

 

 

Can I be even more metaphysical than that?

 

Do you have any clue

About what it is that

I’m talking about here?

No?

That’s what I thought

Don’t worry

I have no intention

To let you know

About what it is that

I am talking about here

 

The more in the dark you remain

The better it is for me

If I were to tell you everything

There would be no more mystery

You would quickly say

That my life is just as identical

As yours

When really

How could it be?

 

You are such a loser

I’m not a loser

You’re such a wimp

I’m not a wimp

You’re so hypocrite

I’m no hypocrite

You don’t deserve to live

I don’t either

But let’s not go there

 

Can I be even more metaphysical than that?

Oh yes I can

As metaphysical

As it is necessary

For you

To have no clue

About what it is that I am talking about here

 

What purpose would it serve anyway?

For you to be able to criticize

Destroy me in a few sentences

I don’t need that

Better be cryptic

Pretend that I am talking to God himself

About eternal stuff

The stuff that causes wars

You know what I mean

Or perhaps you don’t

Sorry

For being too metaphysical

For your poor mind

Trying to keep up

With what I’m not trying to say here

 

There are green fields somewhere around here

I have noticed them before

One morning that I was desperate

For anything

To connect me

To ancient dreams I had years ago

 

A beach!

A long one

No deepness

Three of my cats

I dreamt about last night

Made my cry this morning

While waiting at the light

Being so disconnected with reality

My dreams

Are all that I have left

To remember my life

My past life

The one I’m crying for every day

I miss it more than I can express here

That it has to come to me in weird dreams

Green fields have been replaced

By water and castles

And my cats playing around

While I don’t pay attention

When I could take them in my arms instead

Crying

And telling them how much I love them

How much I miss them

And I know they miss me

That’s why they come to me in dreams

And yet

Even there

I take them for granted

I do not realize that it is my chance

To take them in my arms

Kiss them and tell them

How much I love them

How much I miss them

And the poor souls

Are trying to make me understand

To get my attention

It’s like I am dead

Incapable to love them as I should

I’m so selfish

I can only think of myself

Even in dreams

 

They are so innocent

And yet they love me

They are capable of telepathy

And all they can communicate

Is their normal cat behavior

Which is not enough to attract my attention

In my dreams

I just felt it was normal to have them there

Running all around me

But now that I am awake

I feel I missed a great opportunity

To squeeze them in my arms

To express my infinite love for them

Which transcends any distance

Across the oceans of the world

How weird that I can love cats

More than I ever loved any human beings

This is true love

The kind I never thought existed

Because it is so pure

It is so unconditional

They must be the only things on this planet

Who would love me no matter what

Because they will never rationalize anything

That kind of love

Can only be reciprocated

And it is simply killing me…

 

All right, I feel better now

I’ve plugged myself into

Type O Negative

Just the fix I needed

To get back to normal

It’s not working

No Kleenex is resistant enough

In Los Angeles right now

To contain my crisis

 

Nothing I ever wrote before

Makes me cry like I am now

When I read these lines again

Is it only powerful to me?

 

A castle over water

Tubes to get there

A view to kill for

Over the horizon

Over the ocean

And cats running on water

And tears to fill an ocean

Which I cannot explain

 

Is that metaphysical enough for you?

Probably not

Good, because I was not trying to be metaphysical

 

Summary

 

 

My Island

 

I am disconnected

I don’t live here anymore

I live somewhere else

A perfect world

An island

A perfect one

How can I describe it?

A palace

Heights

Flying machines

A Sun

A Moon

Symbols

Problems

Which are not mine

Only beauty for me to see

To enjoy

To live through

Seeing trees

Landscapes

Other islands

The rain through the forest

An imagined history

Pure creation

Beyond any dreams

I feel it so deeply

I live there all the time

I cannot leave this place

I love this place

Such perfection

That I could never reach

In the real world

My virtual world

It has become so important

So central to my life

To my survival

How can it be?

It is virtual

It is just a dream

And yet it is so powerful

I don’t live here anymore

I guess I never did

I was always more there

Than I have ever been here

I am so confused

Did I ever exist?

Has this reality ever existed?

I’m not sure

I think I imagined it all

The real world is that island

Which I always come back to

I don’t know where I would be right now

If I never went there

I would not be where I am now

I’m sure of it

I’m so lost

I’m not sure if I really exist

I feel I can almost understand

That this is not real

My life

It cannot be

I am now on my island

In real life

It makes no sense to me

I am even rejecting it

It seems

It is only good in my dreams

Only acceptable as long as it is unreachable

It makes no sense

Tonight I’m not here

I’m out there

I’m on my island

I feel so good

I feel warm

I feel beauty passing through myself

I am that universe

It is all me

I am one with my world

With the world

And for once

It makes sense to me

I don’t exist here

I only exist there

That’s where I have always been

More there than here

It has become my reality

The only place I can really exist

Where I can feel good about being alive

At least I have that

Not sure if anyone else has that chance

I don’t care

I realized tonight

That I have always been living

In another world

And I am pleased that I finally accepted it

Reality is something of the past

Something that never really existed

For me

There is only one place to evolve in

To contemplate

To enjoy life

My island

 

Summary

 

 

Los Angeles does not really exist

 

For the first time in my life

I am convinced that my life is not real

I can feel it

It is a joke

And I’m wondering

Why it made me suffer so much

When really it was never there in the first place

You would think that after suffering so much

I decided to create myself a dream world

Freud would destroy my argument in a second

But I think he missed the point

I have reached another understanding

One that he could never reach

I understand that the world is not real

It is an invention

A creation of some sort

A testing ground perhaps

But no more than that

It is no more real than my dreams

My dreams are more real now

I stand somewhere over all of this

Los Angeles made me understand

No matter all the problems it sent my way

I just cannot believe it

I don’t buy it

It is all fake

Life is much simpler

Life is simple

And it is not what it seems

It is something else

I can see it so clearly now

Every tree, every bush

Have been placed there

For some reason

But it is a desert

It should be a desert

It should be emptiness

It is emptiness

It does not belong there

Nothing belongs anywhere

It was placed there for us

To act like if it was a real world

It is obvious to me

That it never was

And only here can I see it so clearly

It is all an illusion!

An elaborate scam!

The world does not exist!

Why do you still suffer?

There is no reason to

It was created for you to pretend

To be alive and kicking

When really

You cannot be

Nothing belongs here

You do not belong here

I don’t belong here

It is all someone else’s creation

And I refuse to be part of it

It is not mine

I have nothing to do with that obvious fake creation

This virtual world

I want to live in the real world

The world I have not been told about

Which oversees all of this so-called reality

I am now aware

I can feel it

I will reach the real world

I will

 

Summary

 

 

One billion deaths is not enough for me

 

One million deaths is not enough to get me rich

A billion would make it worthwhile

If I get a dollar for each life, that is

The true value of life on this planet

One big American dollar

It will cost the rest of the people billions of dollars in warlike stuff

That is of no consequence to me

As long as I get my billion dollars

In return for a billion deaths

That I directly or indirectly cause

In God we trust

And don’t you forget it

Next time I drop a bomb on your head

 

Summary

 

 

Private Equity, our New Religion

 

Talk about something still worth believing in

When just about everything else failed so miserably

There is still a God on this planet

The only one worth believing in

It is called Private Equity

My new best friend

My new religion

Capable of pumping billions of dollars

In any worthless idea

And still bring me back billions of dollars in return

Ohhhh, I just had an orgasm

Ahhhhh, and another one

It feels soooo good

How was I ever able to believe in any other God before

Is the greatest of mystery

There is only one God

We all knew that

And it has finally emerged

From a world we thought was doomed

After the collapse of the Stock Exchange market

Private Equity

Dear me

Smells so good

Tastes so good

Must be too good to be true

And yet

Nothing else on the planet

Causes so many multiple orgasms at once

No drug even comes close to Private Equity

Mmmmh, feels wonderful

I feel loooove

Real loooove

Money, money, money

That’s all I want

That’s all I get

Private Equity

My new best friend

Better than Las Vegas

Better than sex

My only love

Private Equity

 

Am I talking some sort of alien language here?

If you think so

Then you must ultimately be

Why I love Private Equity so much

You are the end user that will make me billions of dollars

No need for you to understand anything about it

Just continue to do what it is that you do best

Consume my friend

So Private Equity will still mean something to me

Something that will save America

From collapsing on itself

 

Funny how we always find a way out

To justify pure capitalism

To save pure capitalism

 

Think big!

And thank God!

For Private Equity

Our only savior

Our only God

 

Summary

 

 

We may still save humanity in America

 

Don’t lie

You have always known it

All we need is not love

All we need is money

Money is everything

It feeds your wonderful children

It saves your marriage

Which was doomed from the start anyway

It is the only thing by which you can valorize yourself

How much are you worth?

Do you deserve to be alive?

Has your life any kind of meaning?

Only through money can we assess your worthiness

To be alive

Money is the only thing that can bring you to freedom

Really help you escape your miserable existence

What we call reality

Money is the dream come true

The only dream you ever had

The only answer to all your hopes

Don’t deny it

Money is everything to you

You can never have too much

You can never feel guilty for rolling all over it

Money is the only way to happiness

Trying to convince anyone of the opposite

Can only come from people

Who have accepted their true lack of potential in getting it

Their unworthiness to being part of this society

That we have painfully built for ourselves

For centuries now

Money is everything

Money is all there is

Money is your only salvation

It changes everything

It saves everything

It is the basis of all your values

Protecting your family

That little nuclear family

So ready to explode

As soon as money runs out

Say it after me

Money is everything!

Money is all I need!

Money is my only escape!

Get it

At any cost, any sacrifice

Life demands it

Your family demands it

Your existence, your values, your worthiness

Depend on it

Do it!

Get it!

More money!

Is all you need!

Focus, concentrate, find a way

Find your true way

To the only meaningful thing there is

Money

For everyone, forever

To feel good about yourself

To create happiness all around

This dream existence you have been told

Was your only way out

The only reason why you ever existed

It all comes down to one thing

Saving the world

Making this world a happier place

Get humanity out of its eternal misery

Only one solution

Only one goal

Your only real true independence

Useless to lie

Even to yourself

Deep down you know

No need to be ashamed of it

Our whole society has been built on that one principle

No matter what you have to do to get it

Or how you will go about it

Just keep in mind one single idea

And you will be saved

There’s nothing else in this world

Against your downfall

Learn to love it

Or else you’ll be a slave

Repeat after me

Money is everything!

Good boy, Good girl

As long as you still believe in money

We may still save humanity

In America

 

Summary

 

 

The extinction of humanity

 

What you qualify as my twisted mind

Is only a reflection of what you taught me

It is only the true and only consequence

Of what you truly tried to brainwash me about

It was leading there

I don’t understand why you feel this is not true

What did you expect?

Was it not what you wanted me to do?

To truly really do?

Is competition not the extermination of any threat to my being?

Is succeeding not preventing others from taking my place?

Is becoming rich and powerful

Not mean everyone else being a slave to my own desires?

If I am to control everything

Surely it means that no one else should have any freedom

If I am to lead the life I am expecting to lead

Then no one else can live in this world

What you qualify now as my twisted mind

Is your own twisted mind you did not realize you had

You were just too blind to see it

It is too late now

I will make all your dreams come true

And I will not get the blame

You will get just what you deserve

I assure you

What you taught me

It was leading there

To the extinction of humanity

 

Summary

 

 

Hail to the bugs, the true leaders of this world

 

By bugs

You probably thought I was referring to our politicians

But I was in fact talking about the true leaders of this world

Something much more powerful than any of us

Real bugs

We are at war

And we are losing it

It’s time we acknowledge our defeat

And consider them as our true leaders

Bugs have taken over the world

They inhabit us

We are still unable to kill them

They spread from one host to the other

We have become their home

It kills us

And then they move on to someone else

Until none of us will remain

To even support their existence

They don’t seem to mind

Not hard to understand

We have been following the same pattern

Multiplying until the Earth can no longer sustain any of us

But that was not the real worry

We will all be dead by the time the earth becomes unlivable

The bugs are winning the war

And we have not even declared that we were at war

Because we feel they are not really threatening

Until they actually reach either us directly

Or someone we personally love

Won’t be too long now

Soon we will all be infected

They’re winning the war

They mutate much faster than we could hope to mutate ourselves

And they don’t even need to practice DNA re-sequencing

They move at a much higher time rate than us

They’ve gone through millions of generations

Of permutations

Of mutations

While we were still debating what should be legal or illegal

Hail to the bugs

The next and only humanity

Perhaps they will find a way not to kill each other

And finally get out of the solar system

Something it seems we were never going to achieve anyway

What a pity

There is no greatness to speak of here

About humanity

After all

Perhaps we were not really worth it

It took so long anyway to understand anything

We only produced two geniuses

Newton and Einstein

And it took us hundreds of years

To finally understand

That they were completely wrong

Ultimately we produced no geniuses at all

It was all an illusion

The history of humanity is a sad one indeed

Plagued with stupidity

While we were praising our intelligence and greatness

Perhaps the bugs

In their own time frame

Will go further than we could ever achieve

The bugs, our only true legacy

May they be the ones finally getting out of the solar system

To continue humanity’s legacy to the stars

The only species with any real future

The only species capable of surviving any Life Extinction Event

Hail to the bugs!

The true leaders of this world!

 

Summary

 

 

Awareness in San Francisco

 

Have I gone everywhere in this world

Enjoy my own little awareness once in a while

Alone yet in another hotel room

Wondering about my own individuality

In a sea of billions

How insignificant I can be

Wondering if I can make any difference

And if it is at all important

If I do or not

Maybe there was never any meaning to it

Just a fact that needs to be accepted

We are six billions

I am one

I am aware that I exist

I have my own individuality

Should enjoy it

Go for a walk

Look at the sea in the Bay

Look at the constructions

The bridge

Another symbol of our so-called greatness

The Valley of Silicon

Of artificial intelligence

Wonder if it has any awareness

Individuality in a world of multiplication

Of the same, over and over again

That one voice

At this point

Cannot make any difference

Indulging

Fighting

Surviving

Still have that chance to see more

Explore more than the next one

Reach San Francisco

See that bridge for myself

And wonder

In my awareness

What it all means

If anything

We’ve built a valley of silicon

Like we grew a valley of wine trees

Can artificial intelligence get drunk?

Can it wonder about its existence?

Can it have awareness?

And would my life be better

Without that awareness?

Mindless existence

I’m in San Francisco

And that’s all there is to it

Just go to the sea

Just look at it

Do not think

It is only painful

There is no answer here

To all these questions

Why torture ourselves

Why invent philosophy?

Can I just live for a change?

Forget my individuality?

My awareness?

This intelligence which serves no real purpose

To my own happiness?

Can I not just enjoy being alive?

Without having to put back everything

In its own context?

Can I not just for once

Be in San Francisco

And not be aware of it?

Of anything?

As a meaningless fact

I’m here now

Let’s just enjoy it?

Without throwing me into thinking mode

Of self doubt

That this world could actually be real

Meaningful

With some sort of great purpose

That we just can’t figure out?

I’m sorry

I cannot accept that it is about love and reproduction

Multiplication of more useless existence

Who will one day end up in Silicon Valley

And wonder

Why it is that they are alive

When they see that bridge

In wonder

To what symbol we were able to construct

To give a reason, a meaning

To something that has none

Awareness is perhaps not that magical

A bit of programming could simulate that

Individuality is perhaps just an illusion

We are all thinking the same

We are all the same

We are one

This feeling of individuality

This feeling of awareness

It’s programmed on that carbon chip

Which is my brain

I guess God never knew about miniaturization

Might have been the lack of competition
