In long, sleeplessness nights
I spy on timeless and spaceless
circuits looking for your body,
and an evil genius repeats
his merciless binary mantra:
404 not Found.

Swarms of windows
are opened and closed, flickering,
as eyes or shooting stars
about to the final sign
or the unfulfilled desire
before going down forever:
404 not Found.

Press the right key, they say,
repeat the operation, please,
wait, enter the password,
would you like to sign in?, are you sure?
do you want to reboot now?,
waiting has expired:
404 not Found.

Pixels and bits are aligned
by the edge of the screen
as planets on a sky deep
and quiet like the night
where I am surfing to some eyes,
some mouth and some skin that exudes
the harmless and failed waiting:
404 not Found.

Plunged into the sleep's thickness,
I press the last key
before I fall exhausted forever:
404 not Found,
404 not Found,
404 not Found,
404 not Found.
