The emperor spoke
the people nodded.
Yesterday begins
by walking on long
descending stone stairs.
In the dark we feel
potatoes, whose
poisonous shoots
fall in our hands.
Cited up into office
we swear to the truth:
Canapes, caviar, and sparkling wine.
Because things are like this:
The Emperor forbids any action
that could object to his will.
The Emperor proclaims the introduction
of perceptual limitations
as protective measures for his subjects.
The Emperor does not agree to negotiate.
The Emperor turns around and leaves.
Because things are like this:
Pilate would ask today: what is reality?
