4th of July: Independence Day

Washington signed the constitution
and sat on the young empire's thronne
long way have they come since
and still they can slave many more

for it was on such a day
some gained their freedom
and other's was forever lost

God Bless America
and all of her blue-collar sons



Thanksgiving Day

the fourth thursday of november
we celebrate our great grandfather's creed
for through sacrifices and endurement
the puritans learned how to plant a seed

the Mayflower came to Massachusets one rainy '21
indians didn't knew but helped the best they can

turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin' pie
that is what we eat to celebrate the indian's demise



4th of July 2.0

Washington signed the constitution
and the young country was born
for it was on such an occasion
hope for all was to come

picnics and patriotic parades
concerts and fireworks
this is what we do to celebrate
that freedom was forever won

the flag flies high
and the candle burns low
God Bless America
and all of her sons



Thanksgiving Day: the good news

Characters: Pilgrim and Indian

1º: Pilgrim arriving on Mayflower.
Plg- Hey, let's make this land our own. We shall practice our creeds and live on our faith. Winter will be though, but with baby Jesus on our side hope is the last thing to be lost.

2º: Cold and harsh winter in Massachusetts.
Plg- Brrrr, chilly, I think I'm going to die.
(enters Indian)
Ind- Not so! Plant this seed and build this shelter. The god of winter is relentless but with our help you will survive

3º: Springtime in Massachusetts, big party.
Plg- What to do with all these crops? Let's celebrate and honor those who helped us in our time of need.
Ind- Hai! Let's drink and dance tonight hoping for forgiveness from our gods.

... and they all lived happily ever after.

Pequeña embarcacion surrealista de fin de semana

Dia del Padre

los pies se escarchan
y el corazon revienta
en el frio de una plaza

me acurruco entre una bufanda
trato de no oler el pensamiento a mierda
ayer me robaron el celular

me desespera la perspectiva de ver mi vida por el desague
me desespera que mi viejo este loco y me quiera
me desespera que mi vieja este loca y me quiera

necesito un rincon caliente
lleno de mantas persas y vapores de arabia
o simplemente tibio
para hacerme chiquito y volver a dormir

quiero irme lejos estando cerca
mirarlos con ojos perforados y decir la verdad:
gracias por intentar

el dulce sin-sentido de la cotideaneidad laboral
me arrastra con calma hacia el vacio
que se esconde en mi sangre heredada

lo comico del destino
me obliga una vez mas a vivir tragicamente
bailando con mis demonios hasta el proximo amanecer

quiero mi rio de arena en la montaña
deseo una mujer que me consuele
necesito tan solo un poco de paz.


Señales

Miro atras al bajar,
veo pobres demonios de fantasmas desenamorados
perderse entre un sinfin de mascaras

Paro
y siento la briza de la resignacion
en mi cama a la mañana cinco minutitos mas

Puentes
de carton para unir valles infertiles
donde pasta el desengaño

Minima, Maxima
hermosas directrices
para vivir una vida de porcelana

Salida
hacia algun recobeco en la conciencia
de un yonqui frustrado sin familia

Me gustaria comprar plastilina
y moldear los sueños de alguna persona
realizando sus mas oscuras pesadillas
para que vuelva a dormir en paz
bailando con los demonios en la comedia de la vida.


Huerfano

tener una boina a rayas
y un saco gris a agujeros
todo por aparecer en un cuento de Dickens

matar a la madre y al padre
hasta al propio Edipo
por un momento de paz

escurrir el pañuelo en un callejon oscuro
mientras se secan los pies al primer rayo de sol
y cantar por lo bajito alguna melodia barroca

verbos, palabras, acciones y estados de mente
demente, triste, agotado y agobiado

vilipendiado por un devenir ya cotidiano
donde respirar parece el lujo de los triunfadores
para mi barro, plaza, banco y mierda.


El Hijo

Llamen a toda la creacion
el Dios Sol bailo con las estrellas
y el recien nacido va por el camino de la desolacion

su trompa trae luz
pero los corazones ya estan tocados de noche espeza

el alma agobia a quien no vive conciente del cambio
ni tiene oidos para el genesis y la nada
la eterna cotideaneidad en el vacio del instante

puros cristales oxigenados se desplazan en torrente
mientras la brisa azota suavemente alguna copas de ayer a la noche

pensamiento ceruleos y senos hidromiel
son moneda bizantina en el mercado de las personalidades


Querida conciencia

Me gusta hacer nada
quiero una sobredosis de paraiso
para caer rendido en los brazos de belcebu

querida alma
no te conozco
querido caracter
no puedo contigo
querido querido
no te quiero

quiero sentir y quiero pensar
no quiero sentir y no quiero pensar

todo tranquilo en Ohio
las venas explotan en el cuartito de arriba
ja, a vos te agarraron cuando trataste de escaparte

todo tranquilo en Las Vegas
y despega el pajaro de Dios para inmolarse en el asfalto
sin pensarlo

las olas siguen rompiendo una roca siempre virgen
mil pensamientos cristalinos destila el reloj
mientras el puño descansa en el barro

quiero vomitar la sangre de generaciones perdidas
que la flema de mi sufrimiento se convierta en carbon
para que el diamante del entendimiento pueda perforar un papel

intelectos octogonales descansan entre granito
las lombrices bailan y
el bufon entiende que no entiende

una mueca de significado escapa en la sonrisa
pero mil vapores de plastico empañan al alba
el sol promete cumplir sin interes

la existencia se debate en un momento
mañana es hoy
pasen, vean, entretengansen
vamos a cenar juntos en la fosa comun

Father's Day

Today, father, is father's day,
And we're giving you a tie.
It's not much we know,
It's just our way of showing you
We think you are a regular guy.

You say that it was nice of us to bother.
But it really was a pleasure to fuss,
For according to our mother,
You're our father,
And that's good enough for us.
Yes, that's good enough for us.

Un dia en el laburo

Me levanto a las 16:04
entro a las siete
no llego nunca
me siento
me logeo

om mani padme hum
ser tecnócrata es tan tedioso
necesito tnt para el esparcimiento

Thank you for calling your dirty mother
what with the lights on the device?
status of international stupidity gone astray
it all floats into the eternal void of nothingness

verdiazul con salvajes puntitos negros
cubiculo cuadrado de mierda y nacar
tiene un monitor

no hay libertad sin elección y pensamiento
no hay pensamiento sin elección
no hay elección sin pensamiento
hay de todo y hay de nada

En la vida hay un solo camino en el que tratas de ser vos mismo. Las casas de ropa me enseñan que musica escuchar y a que Buda adorar. Las remeras rosas se miden en valor pan y la tristeza es solo un estado pasajero descartable con una sonrisa y una actitud. Hoy en dia todo se resuelve con la actitud correcta: una personalidad es suficiente y necesario. Bailar hasta no sentir las extremidades es un pasatiempo entretenido, el trance de la musica sumado al trance de la union interpersonal dada por cuerpos en movimiento ritmico, parece ser suficiente.
