Grindwall - Mechanical box - Act I - Engine
Act I: ENGINE 
An engine is a complicated set 
made of pistons wires spark-plugs 
pulleys camshafts valves 
bobbins cams platinum-points 
belts pipes filters 
that work harmonically 
to transform matter into energy 
to set bodies in motion 
to walk to run to fly 
carrying persons or things 
doing exactly 
what it was born for 
what has been designed for 
from engines unaware of 
the scope they were born for 
they were designed for 
from engineers that maybe did be aware of 
or more likely didn't be aware of 
to be part of an engine 
that was thinking instead of them 
and through the work 
through the daily control 
was checking every moment 
that their thoughts were direct toward 
just to nothing else 
than to what they were born for 
that's the surviving of the engine itself 
that by means of them 
can feed and live 
having illusions dreams hope
 
that devours and destroy 
and automatically produces 
something that is totally new
into a lifetime cycle  
that doesn't make sense 
that's repeating and repeating and repeating
and produces every time 
something different 
that's the same as itself 
that's the life indeed 
that's the future 
that's the unique reason to live 
that's what in which we believe 
that's what we have inside 
An engine is a complicated set 
made of pistons wires spark-plugs 
identical and different 
that repeat itself
into the engine in which we live 
into the engine that give us the life 
that's the life itself

An engine is a complicated set 
made of us them others 
An engine doesn't think 
I think 


maybe
