Engineers From Hawaii
Miscellaneous
The Fable
once upon a time there was a mechanical,
logical planet, where no one had any doubts
there was a name for everything and everything an explanation
even the sunset over the sea was a graph
guessing the future wasn't a magical thing
it was a long ago bureaucratic bit, always the same
explaining emotions wasn't ridiculous
there were critics and practical methods
for us, everything was very boring
it was all so sensible, hard to bear
we all knew it by heart
how it all started and how it would end
but from one moment to the next,
everything that was so solid collapsed at the end of a century
sun rays in the early morning of a radical Saturday
it was a lime shovel, so cool
no I don't know where I came from
why I'm here, where I'm going
between us, it's much better this way
not knowing the beginning and ignoring the end
of the fable
