Nado sincronizado en la pecera

Pegando la curva del Miguelete
el ford Ka forzaba tristeza.
La luz era tan amarilla
y el asfalto abrazaba tan fuerte, 
sin respirar,
que de aire se llenaron
los ojos

Las pupilas se vuelan.
Remonten la Tierra
¡ya!
Es momento de salir,
porque vibra la espina dorsal
y la musica solo sopla
aún más
y más.

Cantemos.
Solo el abrazo puede unir
las neuronas desgastadas.
Solo el abrazo puede ser
un salvavidas nocturno
en la distancia atroz.

Tengo las comisuras
llenas de sal
que hoy sabe añejo.
De explotar caprichos en la almohada
y confesiones en la ducha.
De criar cuervos.
Ciegos.

Persigo la lluvia.
Agua, que limpie las aceras
y me inunde el cerebro. 
Otra vez.

Enjuago los ojos sin pensar
y brillo en el espejo.
Al fin,
todo es más fácil
y es lo que parece.


* Siento la distancia medida en palabras, en la fluidez del canal comunicativo. Aquellos que están más lejos pueden doblarnos la esquina mañana. El vecino puede ser un alien. Tus padres, hologramas.

Once in a lifetime



You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Leting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
You may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?"
You may say to yourself, "My God! What have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, look where my hand was

Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, hey let's all twist our thumbs
Here comes the twister

Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Once in a lifetime
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
