يتكئ وراسه وعيناة على شاشة الصراف الالي ويفكر كيف مر الشهر : أبحث عن مفهوم يقنعني أين يطير الراتب في منتصف اليوم الأول من الشهر ... هذا ما كان يفكر به الموظف يوم الثلاثين من حزيران بعد الساعة الواحدة ظهراً وهي اللحظة الفاصلة بين وجود الارقام على شاشة الصراف الالي .. وبين فراغ هذه الشاشه في لحظة تيه ..

يتكئ وراسه وعيناة على شاشة الصراف الالي

ويفكر كيف مر الشهر :
أبحث عن مفهوم يقنعني أين يطير الراتب
في منتصف اليوم الأول من الشهر ...
هذا ما كان يفكر به الموظف
يوم الثلاثين من حزيران
بعد الساعة الواحدة ظهراً وهي اللحظة الفاصلة بين وجود الارقام على شاشة الصراف الالي ..
وبين فراغ هذه الشاشه في لحظة تيه ..

سيجارة

قبل اكم ليله... بعد نص الليل اكتشفت انو مش باقي في العلبه غير سيجارتين
سحبت واحدة وولَعتها وطول ما أنا بادخن فيها،
مابطلتش تفكير في الثانية
وماذا سيحدث لو بقيت صاحي للصبح
مهارات وتنافس
مجالات جديدة من التنافس
تتطور لدينا
والبعض يحترفها و يتقنها ويتخذها مهنة.. هي مهارة مخالفة للقوانين في كل مجالات حياته
قوانين السير / السير عكس السير/ الاضاءة الحمرا ووووو
النظافة والزبالة / بيحمل الزبالة ويرميها جنب الحاوية - رمي الاوساخ من السيارة
المشي وسط الشارع و يتجنب المشي على الرصيف
الكلام والسب والشتائم بمبرر وبدون مبرر
اطراب الشارع او الحي بالموسيقى والاغاني وغالبا موش فاهم شو بتقول
قائمة المنافسة تطول والكل يحاول الحصول على اللقب
مخالفة قواعد السلوك
أو المجتمع أو الدين”
