    it’s time

    it’s that time again,

    leftover relationships 

    you know,

    the second-hand infertile chats.  

    sometimes you surrender

    to the role of foster child 

    with a shaved head

    of the space-filling ambience.

    the so-called thinkers’ ‘worthy’ invitations

    to their social circus

    and 

    their conceptual masturbation.  

    genes that can not find their names

    being sold on cheap tables

    or a value that has taken

    its name flies away 

    without finding a skin to land on.  

    full of androamoeba in around

    with confused identities, 

    and 

    marriage certificates in their hands.  

    to feel like drowning in

    genetically distorted meanings

    and the hymns of digital saints

    in the coldness of the keyboard.  

    the weight of the past left on a torn shirt  

    without a latch 

    hanging on an abandoned porch.  

    a world in where love is represented

    only in the body fluid,

    and whoever objects to this 

    doesn’t even belong in

    an unrecyclable rubbish dump.

    ‎ 

    taboos, 

    totems, 

    dogmas, 

    indulgences,  

    cultures, 

    and stale ideologies mingle,

    as if they are preparing

    for a painful new birth 

    to unknown hopes and problems.
