Shout boy, shout shout.
Shout high.
Shout indoors or shout in public out
On a narrow road or on a wide street.
It makes no difference! Remember: You were and you
are
Always a homeless guy
Under shaking and rocking sky.
Shout shout. What about?
The whole universe looks deaf, defiant or, perhaps,
Careless. Shout shout: Who is dead, me or the rest?
Shout while you are at home in bed.
Dreaming of something suddenly to come
Or to be foreseen or to be said. Shout shout and
maintain.
Do you expect a miracle or something like that?
Have you read it in the Horoscope,
Or dug and found it underground or somewhere in the
past?
Are you serious, a discreet man or just a movie star
Drinking beer in a bar?
Shout shout.
Shout with me or without,
For, simply, I am neither in nor out.
Inbetween? O boy! You think too much deeply,
You are really smart.
Take care and be aware: do not cross the border for
You look opaque, converted and dark,
Hanging in a ceiling upside down,
Like a bat or a frightened rat.
Shall I cry in a dark hole
Before a watching open eyed serpent?
No. No retreat.
No surrender.
Rebel.
Resist.
React.
