e frig inauntru, si nu e nimeni afara

but with jolliness, in binary mode... pe marginea tastaturii, pe intuneric, la lumina stroboscopica a ledului. e frig inauntru, si nu e nimeni afara. si nu mai stiu ce-am vrut sa zic.
un melc mort
habar n-ai cat de rari sunt;
desi dupa ploaie calci pe ei
si-ti spui in sinea ta: it was a branch. no need to get emotional... [breath in, breath out...]
si dup-aia mai calci pe unul
grija la melci!!!
---------------------------------------
The translation:

but with jolliness, in binary mode... on the edge of the keyboard, in the dark, at the stroboscopic light of the led. it is cold inside, and there is no one outside. and I can't remember what I wanted to say.
a dead snail
you have no idea how rare they are;
though after rain you literally step on them
and you tell yourself: it was a branch. no need to get emotional... [breath in, breath out...]
you then step on another
watch out for the snails!!!

spring sprang sprung

Spring sprang not long ago.
It has sprung out of dead trees,
in the middle of the night
in the dim orange light,
of street lamps... when you were sleeping.

Here's the proof.

regarding eggs

They crack way too easy. And I don't mean your garden variety eggs. Actually, I'm not referring to eggs at all.
Anyhow, you don't need to be particularly wise to figure out that sanity is a valuable commodity these days. And I'm not referring to the global financial crisis.

Let me illustrate.

before the events that led to the so called "loss of sanity"

and after...


You might say the egg is faring pretty well. That would be so if it hadn't been eaten by now.
So that smile isn't as "cracked" up as it would seem. It actually reflects the inability to do something when faced with situations that are out of the range of "doing" due to various circumstances.
Though how much can you expect from one egg? Be it your garden variety or not. Really now, why do you think it got those cracks in the first place?
hint: It didn't fell off a wall.

So why does the egg smile?
Because it is all but shattered, and it would not have itself be in any other way. :)
