coisas simples

A guide to basic concepts

'Draw on the poem to create a survival
strategy in the map of your life. Make use
of the image layouts, knowing
it will provide you with quick access to the
resources of your soul. Avoid the predicaments
of sadness, and turn on the light that will bring you
the morning to come, when your time
is running out. If you need to
replace the tired feelings
of your existence, reinstall desire
on the body panel, and print your senses
on every new word. You don’t need
to control all the requisites of the system:
just keep going through the screen of your memory,
looking for the help option which allows you to exit
the blockage. Choose a plain
surface: let your eyes slide
over the estuary of the stanza, so that it pushes
the current of emotions down to its delta. Then
check if all options are available; and
find out about the time and date when dream
becomes reality, so that poem
and life converge.'
