The Text

GEORGIOS KIMINOS 1973 (Athens)



Click, a button lives and dies,
Clack, another life given and taken
click-clack, thousands of times,
Thousands of buttons are pressed,
Thousands just died,
a moment only of life,
Identical buttons combined differently,
Maybe pressed with less or more power,
And few of them repeated.
But of these thousands of similarities
A new completed different story was created,
That may live forever,
There are so many graves printed on paper.
