Andre Breton - Less TimeAndre Breton - Less Time
Work rating: Low


Less time than it takes to say it, less tears than it takes to die; I`ve taken account of everything, there you have it. I`ve made a census of the stones, they are as numerous as my fingers and some others; I`ve distributed some pamphlets to the plants, but not all were willing to accept them. I`ve kept company with music for a second only and now I no longer know what to think of suicide, for if I ever want to part from myself, the exit is on this side and, I add mischievously, the entrance, the re-entrance is on the other. You see what you still have to do. Hours, grief, I don`t keep a reasonable account of them; I`m alone, I look out of the window; there is no passerby, or rather no one -passes- You don`t know this man? It`s Mr. Same. May I introduce Madam Madam? And their children. Then I turn back on my steps, my steps turn back too, but I don`t know exactly what they turn back on. I consult a schedule; the names of the towns have been replaced by the names of people who have been quite close to me. Shall I go to A, return to B, change at X? Yes, of course I`ll change at X. Provided I don`t miss the connection with boredom! There we are: boredom, beautiful parallels, ah! how beautiful the parallels are under God`s perpendicular.
