Unexpected Poems
E.A.P. and others

Oriol Vilanova

Every present divides in past and future, up to the infinite. Apocalytic cinema. E.A.P. improvises poetry. His friends join the recital. All the possible ends.
Un poète lyrique à l'apogée du capitalisme: Il faut fonder le concept du progrès sur l'idée de catastrophe. Que les choses continuent à "aller ainsi", voilà la catastrophe.  C. B.

 

Echange

I know what I am doing
I mean this is historic
I am not gonna let this happen!
I am making you an offer
I haven't slept in two days
I will not madly deem that power
I read perhaps too carelessly
I am a dead man
I am a dead man
I will tell everyone the truth

Unbelievable
A voice on radio told you to come here
Everybody knows that

I am disappointed
I work for you
I still can’t figure out
I am not ready for that Jackson
I was ambitious have you known
I don't speak French
I love that picture
I just have found the most fantastic antibiotics in the bathroom
I have no idea what I am doing
I have no idea

This is the last one
Sometimes it's necessary to make difficult choices
What is this nonsense?

I have never seen before
I am saving your ass
I got a double doctorate
I have been happy in a dream
I am not acting strange
I am looking for the macaroni
I am not being modest about this
I would not live again
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep

Wait wait wait
How is that the end of the world?
Wine and parties

I will be the last president
I think you should have a lottery
I am like what I am see in NY
I am survivor living outside
I need somebody who's had a little less caffeine this morning
I had no being
I am only the best because I work with the best
I would get an ice-cream cone for every book I read
I remember the story from the pictures
I have never seen anything like it

This is ridiculous
Who wants pancakes?
This planet had an expiration date

I think one's about to hit near the centre
I have not always been as now
I replied this is nothing
I refused to believe it
I guess she will be safe now
I wandered of the idol
I have got him demanding answers
I was saving that bacon
I must not say how many
I have no words to tell

Nor ask a reason
Your blood is so sweet
Let's see a simulation

 

Ours is a world of words

You need to read it now
You have been a hero of mine for a long time
You are not wrong
You are not gonna be able to survive it
You can't go running into the dark
You know I don’t like surprises
You and your men are the biggest mistake in the history
You ever see Pulp Fiction?
You don't have to put a gun to my head
You can relax

Never its mysteries are exposed
This book is part of our legacy now because I'm reading it
2700 degrees Celsius

You are not alone
You said you wouldn't work on your book
You need to see this
You will not read the riddle
You got more important things to do now
You get me the diagram
You are much faster than anticipated
You call it hope
You are some nobody
You saw the model

 

Three years later

She looked into infinity and knelt
She turn it off
She is not its form
She is not its voice
She would be just like you
She give me your blue hand
She shall press nevermore
She replied
She revels in a region of sighs
She never shall force

In a night or in a day
In a vision or in none
Preserving those great artworks

 

Those tunnels are empty

He married a Japanese girl
He met a pilgrim shadow
He tenderly kissed me
He is the corporate silence
He fondly caressed
He rolls
He has seen that the tears are not dry on
He is in a galactic alignment
He is the conquistador
He have a new position

Most of the small particles have been vaporized
Everything was one more
Hundreds of billions of dollars 

 

Anything and everything

It will happen again
It will be big changes
It is just a question of when
It is a lack of options
It writes with mortal pangs
It shall not be forgot!
It is the apocalypse
It is just shredded
It is a perfect replica
It was our last transmission

Everybody is dead
The premise is quite simple
Burn what you can and try to wait

It is huge!
It is to late today
It is all over the news
It is all that we see or seem
It is not nonsense all right?
It is like fishing in the dark sun
It used to be the museum
It is gonna get really really bad
It is the survival of the human race
It is like a secret map

Light of the darkness is his legend
This is so much fun
And now a reversal of illegal immigration

It is only the end of this song
It is nice
It is still a fake
It is a surrealistic nightmare here
It is supposed to be confidential
It is the agony of desire
It shall clasp a sainted maiden
It is what we call a global killer
It is not a choice
It glows with the light

 

No problem

We don't take chances
We double up on everything
We need to change the channel
We were warned
We say hello tomorrow
We are gonna have to warn
We got eight hours
We? who the hell is We?
We need to save the people
We can't burn Nietzsche

Complete control of the underground
Ten nine eight seven six five four three two one
Is he always so obsessive?

We are now in the final
We are out of control
We have had thousands of calls
We rule the hearts
We had to shut it down
We just have to listen
We safely may trust to a gleaming
We are going down
We are going to crash!
We pallid stones

A plane crashed seven hours ago near 5th Avenue
That is impossible
The world as we know it will soon come to an end

We start our future with an act of cruelty
We had vip tickets for that
We have lost communication
We are still sharing our memories and hopes
We have got zero visibility
We are on the top floor
We are going on a big ship
We paused before the heritage
We are not impotent
We will be in the paradise

 

The magnetic fields

They don't want anything yet
They are still serving drinks
They gave me an answer
They use that moon no more
They are still waiting for a reply
They couldn’t touch nothing
They never yet have gone
They have not left me
They fill my soul with beauty
They make no mistakes

Excuse me honey
Heritage organization has made selections
Before or after?

They don't talk
They lead me through the years
They are my ministers
They are neither man nor woman
They turned back upon the past!
They would enjoy the fresh air
They were the world to me
They will hide in some bunker in Switzerland
They had a terrible idea
They follow the orange line

Just a moment of your time
There are people down there taking pictures
Of course this is not the same
