I feel over my wall that every noise is passed,
the 'smell of poor stuff to eat,
see it in the light of a dim bulb, that thirty candles.
between mobile who have never seen other glories, old newspapers
and corners full of dust and smells, the sounds used
and its strange daily rituals: eating
, clear, then wash dishes and hands.
I feel when I come very late in the morning
open the shutters, pull the curtain
and while I'm thinking of
life waiting for me to go slowly, in slippers, to the day waiting for him
and then meet him again when I get up at a certain time gives me a pleasure
absurd his old courtesy
"Good morning, Stephen, how is ?
And the cat? And this time you do not call again ... "
I said a hundred times
sitting on the steps of his dead cat, or a quarrel with his neighbors and tells me
floor, with his tone a bit 'subdued
when he and meadows were younger than now ...
I listen and my thoughts wander back to his life,
How many times seen with a light bulb ancient
at that 'usual smell of dust and mold, and all
soups heated on the stove, and that
ticking alarm clock that marks every second, how
from there you can never see the world,
a 'existence many days in the same way, melancholy and yet the story is passed between these walls ...
I listen to him and do not understand everything around me and wonder
life, as it is and how one manages his
many ways its time, and the possibility
choices, change, fate, the
its needs and will still ask myself was never happy?
a doubt have had, and now only goes to sleep, if
a doubt 'has had little or often times, will be sufficient
survive himself ... ?
But then I realize that probably is a thought
He has so much time and the luxury of wasting:
I can not say or do not know at all if it is worse,
on balance, his loneliness or mine. ..
and then one day we will say: "But if he was so good ..."
will have the marble with the 'angel breaks the chains with his
save some money' because you never know,
a bit 'out of habit: "yeah, I'm always ready to trouble." We'll see Mogi
faces, voices from the smiles off:
"Pleasure", "Mio", "I am glad," "You were his relatives?"
and gradually go away from our minds full:
will remain only a 'just remember that feeling ...
