Last Café
(Linja Meller)

mr john he made his last stepswalking on the bridge upon the platform
which was built especially for people who feel they need to fly and to die

he was a poet star a broken will
a man who pays his sons to kill
a farmer who has sold his soul
a preacher with a heart of gold

and on his right
a sign did say
downstair’s the way
to the last café

climbing down the staircase he fluently forgot about his decision
with the squieking of the door the room presented him a strange vision:

there sat leisure’s son,
delightness’ mum
satisfaction did say:
”this is the last café!

you want to flee, fly like a dragonfly,
no like smiling toy kicked out of use,
a coward sloth too lazy to see
that this bad fate is the fate of thee,
you want to flee, fly like a dragonfly...”

mr john he drank his coffee negotiating merrily with the devil,
then he waved his hand to leave sad ‘thank you’ to the allegories.

he went back his way
out of the last café
up on the plattform
it was the end of his day

and then he fled flew like a dragon fly
no like a smiling toy kicked out of use
he tumbled down through screaming athmospheres
the natures indifference made the water freece
and when mr john he met the ground
he stood up and looked around
might the devil bless his soul
