Mwen ka gadé yo ka pèd pasyans. Yo ka mòdé pwent bik a yo. Yo gadé alantou a yo. Yo ka maté anlè chèz a yo. Yo ka gadé lè la. Yo ka gadé adan òwdinatè la pou gadé akilè yo ké pé ay manjé. Yo konèt lè a poz a yo byen mé fo yo gadé kanmenm pas ou pa jen sav. Sé moun la sa, yo byen enmé chanjé lè a poz aw san diw ayen. Yo ni on jan yo enmé mèt on réinyon an mitan a jouné aw san diw ayen. Lè ou ka gadé lè a poz aw, ou ka yenki konstaté tout biten chanjé, ou ja anrita, é yo pa enmé sa. Fo ou suiv sa ki maké. Fo ou suiv pwogram la. Fo ou pwogramé kon robo. Rivé a lè la ki maké an òwdinatè la. Ay maché tibwen a lè la ki maké an òwdinatè la. Manjé a lè la ki maké an òwdinatè la. Ay maché ankò tibwen plita a lè la ki maké an òwdinatè la. Fou ou suiv pwogram la. Séw ki pwogramé kon robo.

Mwen ka gadé yo ka pèd pasyans. Yo bizwen ay manjé. A pa fen tousèl yo fen. Yo pa pli fen ki vou é mwen. Sé palé yo bizwen palé. Konsidiré yo patéka palé asé an téléfòn a moun la. Yo bizwen palé an vérité. Yo bizwen palé ba moun yo pé gadé an mitan zyé. Yo bizwen palé ba moun ki ké konprann yo. Palé ba moun ki péké hélé, ba yo lòd. Moun ki pété yenki rakroché é oubliyé yo si yo pa enmé sa yo ka di. Yo bizwen palé.

Mwen ka gadé yo ka pèd pasyans é mwen pa anvi ay manjé. Mwen fen mé mwen téké byen rété la jistan i lè pou mwen foukan. Mwen téké byen rété sizé la ka palé kon robo, ka résité ti pawòl an mwen kon machin. Mwen pa jen présé pou ay manjé pas mwen pa anvi kouté yo é réponn é fè konsidiré mwen ka dakò èvè tousa yo ka di. Mwen pa anvi jiré sé moun la ki ka kriyé nou. Mwen pa anvi résité tout bèl chif ki adan òwdinatè la pou di sé mwen ki ka travay plis ki pon moun. Mwen pa anvi résité tout vyé chif ki adan òwdinatè la pou tout moun plenn mwen. Mwen pa anvi di sa mwen ka fè lè mwen paka travay. Mwen pa anvi palé ba yo. Mwen sèten yo ni onlo kalité, yo tout trèbyen mé mwen pa anvi palé. Jodila sé lenbé ki ni. Iyè sé doulè ki té la. Mwen pa sav ka démen ké pòté. Tchè an mwen lou é pani pon pawòl ki ké pé chanjé sa. Mwen ké sizé an nwasè ka kouté Guy. Pani ayen plis dous ki sa.

AMIGA

 

Per a amagar-te al silenci

les foses de l’esperança,

tinc, amor, entre els llavis

entravessada una llança:

milers de boques trempades

que t’imaginen amb gana,

flor de card que, traïdora,

s’escola en la gola i l’arrapa.

Riu de saliva estèril,

calfred de la matinada,

perla del mut que, un dia,

pregonarà el que calla.

Llenç estel·lar de l’esquena,

dit que no toca i ràbia;

paraula que, per desitjosa,

gemega, de desesperada.

Per a amagar-te al silenci

el que ja no té mordassa,

tinc, al caliu del pit, solcs

amb la llavor socarrada.

Que vingueres, dits de pluja,

a fimbrar-me i avivar-la

demane, amant cautelosa,

covard i emmascarada.

Per a amagar-te al silenci

despertes, i es trenca la màgia:

em dius “amiga” i torna

el gebre a atordir-m’hi la flama.

MM Inc
Eden Inc

The two global multinational companies present an idyllic front, aided in part by heavy investment in Public Relations and legal counsel.

Current law suits between the two companies stands at over 100. Official company to company suits include copyright, property damage, theft, defamation and corporate espionage. Suits between employees of the companies include theft, property damage, sexual assault, grevious bodily harm, homocide and stalking. Several suits have been filed to secure restraining orders.

Tension between the two companies increased after the release of confidential documents on either side. The documents detailed prototypes and methods of using Stribs similar to contemporary usage. The release was orchestrated by officials within both MM and Eden Inc to encourage cooperation between the corporate giants. When the five scientists involved in the release were found dead, both MM and Eden Inc accused the other of murder and refused any further dealings with the other. No culprit was discovered. The case remains unsolved.

As the main employers of the Seven Districts, a clear division between neighbourhoods were formed, and increasing conflict scarred communities. Government officials made several attempts at local and national level to control the violence. Any attempt had little, if any, impact.

A new group finally emerged. Their origins are unknown though it is believed that their influence was the initial five scientists – to seek advancement through cooperation. Their selection process and training methods are unknown. Their internal structure is unknown.

Although initially unclear, it is understood that they are not a government organisation, nor hold affiliation with either of the two main parties. They police both MM and Eden Inc., broker agreements between them when needed. After the introduction of Gardening, they were granted Freedom of Elysium.
