tonto.
hay un claroscuro desnudo sin botas,
solía tener pelo, solía recordar sus manos.
No hay bestia que se le pareciera
ya no reta nada, no hay a quién retar.
Decirse bandido en tiempos de plástico
como quien arase la tierra
de un suelo de galletas.
.
Explotamos a cientos de cerebros
con flores almidonadas y restos de jilgueros
como cuando había un rey de acero
ahora los hacen de viento.

Rooms inside rooms, with doors inside which close automatically.
Mom believes in Tarot
sometimes she writes names of people
and puts them into the fridge.

I have been thinking of names and how they represent us even if we don’t choose them. It reminds me of that argument of logic that says that, to describe a set, you must use elements outside the set in order to describe them. I used my parents in order to have a name. I can make some efforts myself to get a contraction before my name which describes I’m a certificated scientist or so. Maybe marry someone and get his second name, which at the same time, is a reminder of who his father is.
It is so silly, I really laughed when I thought of it. I was watering my plants while thinking of this, they are growing so lovely. But my plants are a bit foolish too. Their ground is starting to get tight and they might die soon if don’t do something for them. Might they be sad? Should I set them free? I need to travel to Nepal soon and satisfy mi desire of traveling by the longest train in the world. I can’t take them with me, there are some stupid laws about traveling with plants. I can take a trafficker with me but not a plant, plants are dangerous. In Malaysia it was illegal to travel with mangoes.
I might buy some worms for my plants soon, they deserve them. I deserve a big brother too. Someone who says “You listen to very crappy music, please yourself with these records” or “OK, I can take you to this or that volcano to get very tired, I’ll take your asthma medicine because, of course you will forget them while taking your melodramatic poetry books in your backpack”.

This once in a lifetime image depicts Holocaust survivors at the moment of realizing they are liberated. This is such candid, raw photo you would think it was taken on a cellphone at the spur of the moment. Read more about the story behind this photo here.
