Ils ne savent pasPourquoi ils attendentIls voudraient partirIls
restent làLeur vie se dévideA l'amble ou au
pasUn jour une rideOù blesse le bâtL'écho d'un
soupirL'ombre d'une joieLa chance à venirQui ne viendra
pasAssis sur leur chaiseDerrière leur bureauComme un long
malaiseQui colle à la peauLes jeunes les vieuxLes
garçons les fillesOnt les mêmes yeuxPâles de vanilleD'avoir
trop fixéD'un regard glacéLa pendule lenteSur six heures
trenteLeur vie s'achemineVers on ne sait quoiComme un
bout de rimeQui ne rime pasAssis sur leur
chaiseDerrière leur bureauComme un long malaiseQui colle à
la peauEt puis quelquefoisLas de trop attendreL'un d'eux
tout à coupHurle comme un loupIls ne savent
pasCe qu'il faut comprendreChacun le regardeVaguement jalouxOn croit
qu'il divagueOn dit qu'il est fouEt s'éteint la
vagueAvec le remousOn donne sa chaiseEt son porte-manteauUn
long soupir d'aiseMonte du bureau
