La pipa

La pipa descansa de costado sobre la receta, inmaculada de tabaco, como si su último bautismo en whisky (para saborizar la madera) hubiese terminado por ahogarla. Su médula, astillada por los humores ajenos, terminó sucumbiendo a los errores de cálculo de una mano que la llenara una y otra vez, empujada por aquel mismo whisky bautismal. La ansiedad o el aburrimiento la ha llevado a un entierro prematuro, como al revólver con el que comparte sepulcro, cuyo humo, por el contrario, nunca se ha encendido en el paladar aunque no le haya faltado contemplación a la idea. Y aún así (tan cercanos y tan dispares) ambos han sido entregados al fumador por manos amigas.

Rave

To Dylan Thomas, the bluffer.   Go drunk into that dark night. Rave, rave with your self’s shadow, dance. Dance to electric, acid drums. Go drunk into that dark night alight by fluorescent wristbands. Rave against living, against dawn.   Lay bare, under a dark sky, what we all are. Go to the bathroom stalls, past the raving crowd, break in line and start a fist fight. Get drunk and  scarred, animal. Smile, neon bloodied, at oblivion. Rave against all lights unflickering, against all unbroken bones, against those who dance and those who don’t: be an asshole. And dance, dance electric seraph, dance, dance to acid drums.

Where dumb-dumb  Ozymandiases  rust. Where mythologies go to die like an, oh so secretive, fart. Far away enough of people so they can pass quietly and unheard.   My reign is also of venom: purulent, vicious. Highly alcoholic melancholy, not of lethargic rest but instead breeder of anxious sleep, of bad poetry during late hours best served for onanistic endeavors.   ¡Behold the Scorpion King!   ¡Behold my drunkenness, ye mighty, and compare: the width of your temples to the size of my ding-dong!   Only one of them remains.
