It Meant Nothing

· Dr. Soukkou Youcef

Brown and electric never meet

How crazy is this fucking world

Haley discovered his comet

And I? Well, i lost mine

An everlasting feeling of despair lingers

The road smells of diesel

And burned rubber

And liquor

And foggy dreams

Of me running away

Pave the memory lane

I never wanted that particular series of neurone activation

Of what use was the series?

If it had led me to this.

Carpe diem

Throughout the dreary autumn evenings

I saw a planet

Alone, against the hazel skyline of the ugly city

The sun hugged it as it dropped below my fake smile

It was comforting to know tomorrow won’t come

Wishful thinking you might say

True

Yet, i count one sunset together

It was my only sunset

One where i didn’t fake the smile

I see in my own mind now

How important delusions are

My gift was, in essence …

Rhetorical

It escapes conjectures, and loses her will

If I had to do it again

I would’ve

I’m a robot

Serotonin makes me happy

The observer within tried to escape the locked room

It never could

One day, one sunset together and it just might.
