Are You Sure You Want To Delete?
By
Gulala Nouri
Why do you not fade away like an old file
by a delete click ?
To hear the delicious sound of your disappearance
to the recycle bin.
Or as I did inadvertently last night with my outgoing messages in my phone
To get quiet sleep at the edge of the bed
as free as my cat Tegres from
your nightmares
Or, to be a piece of bread
Forgotten in the toaster to burn
And I say: Oh! But he was just a piece of bread no more!
Or to consider you an expensive mistake
I bought ordinary shoes in precious place
for a ridiculous concert .
In the morning to forget my last night foolishness, I give you to a gypsy that had not
mastered dancing or singing or meditation while walking,
only knows how to survive without shower as long as possible
Or be a glass forgotten on the ground
kick you with powerful and fast step
While I try to catch a meeting I am late for.!
To sweep your parts quickly so not to injure Tegres
Why do you not be yellow cheese
left anonymously in my refrigerator,
knowing that I do not like yellow cheese,
see you every morning indifferently,
Then put you in the basket
And prepare just two words for the absent owner “has rotted”
Why not be
Plastic stuffed toys
Float under my arm in the sea
Then a bird comes and pierces you
And I ignore your burst.
To come back to the beach without you!
Why not be a new movie with long commercial
Then to find you at the first premiere meaningless
To lose my confidence in other ads..
Why not come out of winter and spring and summer,
Why not leave my autumnal to celebrate
And dance with all the leaves in a forest on the way
Even for once.
But why – in spite of all my wishes –above:
When the question: Are you sure, you want to delete? Appears
There is a third choice instead of: No or Yes
Which is: I do not know yet.
