1.

wearing my glasses with their slim neon shiny frames and a fashionable outfit bought from a store where only unique items were on sale today, I'm waiting for my glass of whiskey on a seat, somewhere back in the almost empty club where the coldness of the concrete mixes with the smell of old wine cellar. occasionally the girl dressed in her shiny fuchsia plastic-like dress that serves cocktails with green olives passes by just to remind me of her Restless Soul Vanchy perfume that she always wears only in the weekends.

2.

today, rectangle projections and threads of golden light alternate with long bars of darkness, immersing me in a semi-opaque environment where coldness abounds, while outside, the golden rays of the sun shine through a semi-transparent irregular rain where umbrellas of translucent plastic and shiny plastic clothes create kaleidoscopic reflections upon all the buildings in our city.

3.

inside my violet car, that has red velvet velour padded seats, I am listening, at night, to 8-bit recorded songs from a well-known radio show that broadcasts starting 10 pm, every Friday. I am smoking a herbal cigarette, dreaming away of another world, at night, in which perfumes and flashlights illuminate the interior of my vehicle padded with dark sparkling nanomaterial fibers. I am just waiting for the rain or for the moon to show up that is now probably resting behind a few gloomy clouds lagging behind what would be a surreal night where everything is perfect in its irrational arrangement.

4.

my cyan trousers made of shiny synthetic leather, stretch around my feet reflecting around me like a halo the color in which I always like to dress when it’s Thursday, and when I leave my worries show up maybe at a later date. only the bartender rests quietly awaiting for a new customer that would give him something new to do in this beautiful and sunny afternoon.

5.

cars passing by leave their trail imprint of violet, cyan, and yellow colors, on my long exposure picture looking like vivid neon glowing tubes on an old holoimage of the past. I know that every dot of light is made out of tiny little sparks of everything that once passed in a rush fashion on the street that never seems to ever change its appearance.

6.

a pixelated poster of a rock artist is displayed in the bus station, near long stripes of light, a cheap memory for the people that wait for the bus, quietly, in what it appears to be a quiet Friday night. the 8-bit sounds that it generates from time to time along with the commercials that pour in between, brings back samples from the original concert, keeping alive the momentary attention of the future passengers to what is now an almost forgotten song in a world where trends come and go at the touch of a button.

7.

multicolored jeans, a simple hat, and a transparent umbrella, I'm losing myself in the crowd that walks on the streets of my old city trying to think of my future where I will have to buy all these gadgets that will probably get out of fashion a few months after they are invented and where food will taste differently every new season. sparkling lights on the cars that now have all electrical drives, remind me that some things will be here to stay for at least a couple of years.
