with glasses stare at
them on video screens,
observe them
seated on revolving chairs
inside glass buildings.

and dispatched press communiqués,
Tv programs in front of kids

whisper about and confuse them.
They are the only things without life -
they will never return.

laugh
I'm the one who hears it,
it's me
that it follows
it searches for my voice.

says a bip intercepted from who knows what radar,
there isn't
only history, history
isn't all there is.
