Poem
Samira Negrouche
It seems like
It seems likea cartoon
tchouri comet under surveillance
for the good of humanity welcome life
matter organic welcome
non-hallucinogenic mushrooms
preferably
Japanese
that seems more serious
as far as cartoons are concerned
and micro tchouri
everything is in fact
a game of marbles
marbles of varied size
on a cloth of varied textures
on an infra-silent language
no protection guaranteed
from bubbles and scattered micro-lakes
around which chairs are overturned
that can be read as cuneiforms
depending on the branches
network of aquatic bubbles
a solid gaseous visible under
my bowl of water seemingly isolated
the cradle
of a wireless
network

It seems like
ça ressemble
à un cartoon
tchouri comète surveillée
pour le bien de l’humanité accueillir la vie
matière organique accueillir des
champignons non hallucinogènes
japonais
de préférence
ça fait plus sérieux
en terme de cartoons
et de micro tchouri
tout est véritablement
un jeu de billes
des billes à dimensions variables
sur un tissu à textures variables
sur une langue infra-silencieuse
protection non garantie
des bulles et des micro lacs disséminés
autour desquels les chaises se renversent
que puissent se lire des lettres cunéiformes
au gré des branchages
network de bulles aquatiques
forme solide gazeuse apparente sous
ma bassine d’eau isolée en apparence
le berceau
d’un réseau
sans fil
