"Nulli te facias nimis sodalem, gaudebis minus et minus dolebis".


[Do not become too friend to anybody; thus you will rejoice less and you will suffer fewer / No te hagas demasiado amigo de nadie; así te alegrarás menos y sufrirás menos].

                                                                                                                                                                      (Schopenhauer)

I have been already two months at home,

the terrifying tic tac from a watch in the living room reminds me that I am still alive

I go from the bedroom to the office

take white magic papers and rape them with my pen

I deny all of their possibilities making them be only one of my stories

we all end being reduced to a story with more or less luck

our life pass while we are trying to earn some more story,

grab a job, travel to China, do bungee jumping from a bridge...

for the time I am still in the warm shadow of my home spitting on my papers

sometimes I look through the balcony to the people running out there

I don’t need a lot of time

I come back inside, and execute my revenge against those from out

while the terrifying watch reminds me

the time that I have left.

-Birnbaum.
