...
Without a doubt there is only one explanation for this whole scenario, which reaks of my old favourite songs.
1. Judy and the Dream of Horse - Belle and Sebastian
No words are necessary.
The powers of July are upon us.
2. Dance with Somebody - Mando Diao
Forget the rules.
Mambo is for two.
3. Nothing Compares to You - Sinead O'Connor
The sense of travel and true friendship
4. Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths
Dance.
Just dance.
5. Temporary Peace - Anathema
There's a storm closing in
Voices crying in the wind
The serenade is growing cold
6. Summertime in Prague - Elli Paspala
Eva kai agapi.

υπερβολή
Εν θυμίσει του 2006, σήμερα έφαγα πάλι πάρα πολύ.
Πρωινο: γιαούρτι με μέλι και δύο φρυγανιές
Μεσημεριανό: γιαούρτι με φρυγανιές και βραστά λαχανικά.
Όλο αυτό το διάστημα επίσης πρέπει να έφαγα περίπου εφτά μπισκότα.
Βραδινό: μισή τεράστια πίτσα και μισό τεράστιο πιάτο αματριτσιάνα
Γλυκό: Ενα παγωτό ρούμι και σταφύδες. Δύο μπισκότα, ένα μάγκνουμ, ένα ταρτάκι δαμάσκηνο και μισή πάστα σοκολάτα. Σταφύλια. Τρία τσάγια. Έλεος.

Κάποιος να με βοηθήσει..
Κάποιος να με βοηθησει να καταλάβω/ όλα αυτά τα κύματα/ όλες αυτές τις εικόνες/ όλες αυτές τις αισθήσεις/ τη φυγή και το χαμό της φυγής/ την έλλειψη και την αδυναμία της/ τις λέξεις, τις εικόνες, τιε επιθυμίες/ τις δισύλλαβες συμφωνίες σου/ τις αμέτρητες εξελίξεις, αισθήσεις κι επιθυμίες μου/ μάντεψε ποιός λέει αντίο όταν το τρένο φεύγει και ποιός γυρνάει/ ποιός αγαπάει και ποιός ποθεί/ ποιός έρχεται και ποιός φεύγει/ ποιός μόνος κρατάει τα ηνία/ ενώ όλα αυτά τα τραγούδια που ποτέ δεν πρόσεξα μου λένε καινούριες ιστορίες/ όλα αυτά τα μυστικά μας που θα μας πάνε...

ένα βράδυ που ένιωσα λιγότερο ξένη σε αυτή τη χώρα από ποτέ. Ένα βράδυ που ξεκίνησε το απόγευμα, μάτια που δε βλέπονται, και όλοι νομίζαμε ότι δε θα έρθει κανένας, ή ότι θα είναι περίεργος συνδυασμος ανθρώπων. Η J. μου είπε χθες ότι δημιούργησα μια κοινότητα. Μια μικρή άπνοια, ένα συλλογικό απόγευμα, μια που φεύγουμε όλοι και ξεκινάνε οι αποχαιρετισμοί, ενώ καμιά φορά ξεκινάνε και οι γνωριμίες, μια που όλα μου φαίνονται πιθανά. Μια που το σύστημα σπάει το κατεστημένο και αγοράζεις κουπόνια από τον DJ, μια που έχω το αγχος του να μην πιω περισσότες τεκίλες από κορόνες, μια το άγχος να τα πανε όλοι καλά μεταξύ τους, μια το καινούριο φουστάνι, μια που δεν κανόνισα εγώ το μαγαζί, μια που ακόμα και όσους δε συμπαθούσα full τους συμπάθησα μετά τα τάκος, τις κορόνες, και τα παιχνίδια. Όλοι μαζί φαίνονται τόσο διαφορετικοί και τόσο ταιριαστά όμορφοι.

some evenings are quiet
some are not
i am alone
i the balcony
at this quiet hour
listening only to the -slightly deranged- upstairs neighbour
spitting on the ground
from the balcony above me
i drink the last drops of port
imported from my last trip to portugal
imported from a place i loved within a week
what happened to me?
what happened?
when did i fall asleep and
have i woken up?
i am trying to count minutes
minutes and hours
before someone comes and
takes me out of this
out of this.
i will be waiting minutes and hours
and drops of wine
drizzle and driving
some evenings are quiet
this is not
some are not
i am alone
i the balcony
at this quiet hour
listening only to the -slightly deranged- upstairs neighbour
spitting on the ground
from the balcony above me
i drink the last drops of port
imported from my last trip to portugal
imported from a place i loved within a week

LVII- E.E. Cummings
somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
W[ViVa], 1931: LVII)

Malcolm, You're Second, But I Love You Anyway
You go your way and I’ll go mine
I’ll try to meet you in a better life
We should meet up at the end of time
Get a beer and a cigarette for Auld Lang Syne
Was it just a dream? All those people
None of this is real
A kingdom for a fool animals on a wheel
I’m a king in my head a cripple in the world
How do I wrap this up and give it to that girl?
My gift to you, I’m gonna be a better person
I stare at you with a vague and immense longing
Try to save yourself while you’re still alive
Don’t deny yourself of your right to thrive
Solemn Thirsty, born on Thursday, got pished Saturday, fucked up Sunday
Took ill Wednesday, died on Thursday
There’s no better man than Solemn Thirsty
And I try to stay on, so I keep coming back
;
Γιατί δεν κερδίζω ποτέ ταξίδια σε διαγωνισμούς και γιατί πρέπει πάντα να κοπιάζω τόσο στις λύπες όσο και στις χαρές μου; Γιατί δεν μπορώ να μιλήσω 'κανονικά', χωρίς να διστάζω, μπροστά σε κάποια άτομα και γιατί δεν μπορώ να σταματήσω να μιλάω σε κάποια άλλα; Γιατί από τη μια χαίρομαι και από την άλλη λυπάμαι για όλα γύρω μου τελευταία;
