Research
A dark grey see,
wind blowing
forcefully in my hair.
A boat smashing its way
headfirst out on the see.
I stand on the boat looking forward,
and hurting my eyes in the wind.
We stop in the middle of the see.
A cylinder is taken up to show.
Michael lowers the cylinder
down in the water.
He standing there dramatically
waiting as a golden weight
would reach the cylinder.
As Michael and Samael
drawing the line
pulling cylinder up,
the waves twist and turns
the boat whit reality.
A drip of the water
on a transparent piece of glass.
Another glass piece
above the water drop.
put under a microscope.
Monotonous work sliding
the piece of glass up and down.
Little by little counting
and scribing it down.
We are the angel of god
and we are driving research
on the humans.
