Coming Out into the Twilight

In my defiance to the outward space,

I renounce certain parts of the day.

Or I, simply, stay in bed, useless.

In order to repress a few daily occurrences,

I left the apartment.

Soon I found myself in the rain.

In some sort of way, people were trying

to find the balance between their lives.

They were occupied by seducing numerous

projections. During the short dialogues,

I had to ask some of them:

what is man doing in places like these?

 

Once again I am in enclosed space.

What follows is the arrangement of things: female caresses,

a bottle of Nikšić beer, the experience of insomnia,

the usual fantasizing about Buenos Aires…

 

O, Indifference!
