Le diktat de la marée

opère encore, même en soirée.

Il n'a ni casquette, ni béret,

main sur la tempe,

ou bras levé.

Il impose son rythme avec ardeur ,

aux hommes qui campent,

et aux surfeurs.

En lisant les lignes de la mer

imaginons notre destin,

rendons-nous compte du chemin,

Celui d' devant et de derrière.

 Les Bulles sonnent juste.

 Une existence éphémère.

De savon, d'eau et d'air.

Une performance de courte durée.

C'est sans promesse qu'elle disparaît...

Les Bulles, une alternative à l'ennui.
(parce que j'aime aussi dire des trucs chiants)

Poem by Elisa Routa-1st of May 2011-

Inside Robbery.

Music, Voices and Lyrics: Simon & Eli

"Inside Robbery is killing me.

Inside Robbery get out of my reality."

Things to forget (and stop)

- Organize my life.

- Fall in love with the man I paid to sleep with yesterday.

- Drink cold coffee.

- Paint the bathroom in Jamaican style.

- Do nightmares with Lady Gaga in it.

- Do things I don't like (especially  the "do no- thing").

- Lose my credit and Id card every night (and morning. and afternoon).

- Be (too) nice and creamy. coz cream is fat.

- Get a sunburn after falling asleep during few hours.

- Pretend to understand people and (be) like them.

- Feel trapped in a cave when people talk to me.

- Try to fly without any wing.

- Escape reality with travels. and cheese.

- Take out every piece of string I find to make bracelets. No wrist enough.

- Forgive.
