No one really understands
the savagery of this place,
the way it kills people for no reason,
just to keep in practice.
Life is simple now: one day cognac, one day coffee and a cigarette.
To the couples, it’s clear who’s on the outskirts of life, who’s at the center.
They’re alone at the fountain, in a dark well.
They’ve been exiled by the world of hope,
which is the world of action,
but the world of thought hasn’t as yet opened to them.
When it does, everything will change.
It seems a strange position, being very young.
They have this thing everyone wants and they don’t want— but they want to keep it anyway; it’s all they can trade on.
Their thinking is, stay away from change.
The night is an open book.
But the world beyond the night remains a mystery.
You get home, that’s when you notice the mold.
Too late, in other words.
Now he has to work all day to prove he deserves what he has. Midday: he’s tired, he’s thirsty.
But if he quits now he’ll have nothing.
Nothing remains of love, only estrangement and hatred.
