δικαίωμα

"ΑΡΓΗΣΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΝΑ ΚΑΤΑΛΑΒΩ τί σημαίνει ταπεινοσύνη και φταίνε αυτοί που μου μάθανε να την τοποθετώ στόν άλλο πόλο της περηφάνειας. Πρέπει να εξημερώσεις την ιδέα της ύπαρξης μέσα σου για να την καταλάβεις. Μια μέρα που ένιωθα να μ'έχουν εγκαταλείψει όλα και μια μεγάλη θλίψη να πέφτει αργά στην ψυχή μου, τράβηξα, κεί που περπατούσα, μεσ στα χωράφια χωρίς σωτηρία, ένα κλωνάρι άγνωστου θάμνου. Τό'κοψα και τό'φερα στο απάνω χείλι μου. Ευθύς αμέσως κατάλαβα ότι ο άνθρωπος είναι αθώος.Το διάβασα σ'αυτή τη στυφή απο αλήθεια ευωδιά τόσο έντονα που πήρα να προχωρώ το δρόμο της μ'ελαφρύ βήμα και καρδιά ιεραποστόλου. Ωσπου, σε μεγάλο βάθος, μου έγινε συνείδηση πιά ότι όλες οι θρησκείες λέγανε ψέματα.

Ναί, ο Παράδεισος δεν ήταν μια νοσταλγία. Ούτε, πολύ περισσότερο, μια ανταμοιβή. Ηταν ένα δικαίωμα."




-Οδυσσέας Ελύτης, από το μικρό ναυτίλο

το γιαουρτάκι

ανοίγω το ψυγείο πρωί πρωί επιθεωρώ, ψιλοάδειο είνια. αλλά οκ, περιμένω παραγγελία το μεσημέρι. βλέπω ένα γιαουρτάκι, ακτίβια και καλά κάτι πρέπει νά χει αυτό μέσα από αυτά τα ζωντανά, που σε κάνουν σούπερ ντούπερ στα έντερα μπλα μπλα. μαλακίες εις την τρίτην κοιτάω συστατικά ζάχαρη 10% ΚΑΙ γλυκόζη. 9% φράουλες συν αρωματικό. αλλά ένιγουέις δεν ήταν αυτό το πόιντ μου.

το πόιντ μου είναι ότι το γιαουρτάκι έχει λήξει από 21 μαρτίου, σήμερα έχουμε νομίζω 11 απρίλη. πω πω πλάκα πλάκα είκοσι μέρες.

εγώ πάντως το έφαγα. ούτε μύριζε ούτε είχε γεύση ξινισμένου. τώρα θα μου πεις με τόση ζάχαρη τί γεύση να έχει, πέρα από ζαχαρένια. και με το αρωματικό μέσα και σκατά να έχει εσύ φράουλες θα μυρίζεις. αυτό όμως το σκέφτηκα αφού το έφαγα, διότι πρωί πρωί έχω και μια πείνα, και ο εγκέφαλος παίρνει μόνο στροφές για το τί να φάω.

απλά ήθελα να σας ενημερώσω, άμα δεν γράψω τίποτα τις επόμενες μέρες, πάρτε κανά τηλέφωνο, μπορεί να χρειαστεί να στείλετε λουλούδια. τουλίπες παρακαλώ, που είναι και εποχής. κίτρινες ή ακόμα καλύτερα, μου αρέσουν οι σωμόν.

τώρα θα βάλω καμιά σκούπα όσο θα περιμένω να πεθάνω. μη πάει όλο το πρωί χαμένο.

γεια σας.

Not Ready To Make Nice

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

...άλλο πια, δεν μπορώ...

ωδή στη μπριζόλα

πήρα τον χάμπι και πήγαμε έξω για φαί εχτές

με είχε πιάσει μια λιγούρα για κρέας κρεατάκι

πήγαμε σε ένα ωραίο εστιατόριο ιταλικό μας βάλανε δίπλα στο τζάκι αχ ωραία που ήτανε γιατί εγώ με την περίοδο είμαι συνέχεια παγωμένη

παράγγειλα τη μπριζολίτσα μου, σχεδόν ωμή -ο χάμπι είπε ότι αυτό είναι πολύ βάρβαρη περιγραφή - πάντως όταν του έδωσα να δοκιμάσει δεν παραπονέθηκε

αλλά ο σερβιτόρος μια χαρά με κατάλαβε νά ναι καλά

ήταν απέξω ελαφρά ψημένη σε λάδι με αρωματικά, ξεχώριζε δεντρολίβανο

και μέσα βαθυκόκκινη ωμή

ήταν άψογη πωωωωωωω πωωωω πώς μπορεί ένα τέλειο φαί να σε ανεβάσει έτσι;

πολύ μου είχαν βγει τα ζωώδη ένστικτα και έτσι ήθελα να την πάρω να την ξεσκίσω με τα δόντια

τί ωραίο πράγμα το κρεατάκι να το μασάς άψητο τρυφερό τρυφερό

μπορεί να μου έλειπε και σίδηρος τί να πω :-ρ

όχι μπορεί σίγουρα γιατί σήμερα ξύπνησα σα να μου έχουνε κάνει τονωτική ένεση

ήμουν τρεις βδομάδες τώρα και σερνόμανα

φέρανε και πατατούλες φούρνου μπεμπέ, κάτι πολύ μικρές, μια χαψιά η καθεμία

μμμ ήτανε κι αυτές όμως

είχα σκάσει βέβαια από το κρέας και το νερό -ναι με την περίοδο δίψαγα κιόλας

οπότε τις πατατούλες τις δοκίμασα μετά τις περιποιήθηκε ο χάμπι

όχι που θα τις άφηνε

αυτός είχε παραγγείλει κάτι φιλετάκια λεπτά λεπτά ψημένα με φασκόμηλο και από πάνω προσούτο -πολύ ντιζαινιά τέλοσπάντων για τα γούστα μου εκείνη τη στιγμή.

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

JUNEAU, ALASKA

Disappearing

The day he first told me he was starting to disappear I didn't believe him
& so he stopped & held his hand up to the sun
& it was like thin paper in the light
& finally I said you seem very calm for a man who is disappearing
& he said it was a relief
after all those years
of trying to keep the pieces of his life in one place.

Later on, I went to see him again
& as I was leaving, he put a package in my hand.

This is the last piece of my life, he said,
take good care of it

& then he smiled

& was gone

& the room filled with the sound of the wind


& when I opened the package there was nothing there
& I thought there must be some mistake or maybe I dropped it
& I got down on my hands & knees
& looked until the light began to fade

& then slowly I felt the pieces of my life fall away gently


& suddenly
I understood what he meant

& I lay there for a long time

crying

& laughing at the same time.

5TH SHOE DAY COMING UP!!!!

Βλέπω πλήθος κόσμο να κυλά
μα ψυχή δε μου χαμογελά
τα κρεβάτια τ’ άρρωστα παιδιά
και στα δέντρα ξερά τα κλαδιά

Την αγάπη πέταξα σ’ ένα βυθό
και το φόβο μου έστρωσα να κοιμηθώ.
Βρίσκω τάφους κι έναν κόσμο
που δεν πονά.
Όπου πάω κι ένα λάθος
με τυραννά.

Ποιος προφήτης τώρα θ΄ ακουστεί
σα φωνή σε στέρνα κλειστή;
Σ’ έναν κόσμο άδειο κι ορφανό
ποια κραυγή απ΄ τον ουρανό;

Τα πουλιά παράτησα στις ερημιές
και το φως σπατάλησα στις γειτονιές.
Δεν τον θέλω και φοβάμαι
το γυρισμό.
Δες ποιος είμαι που πηγαίνω
για το χαμό.

story people

The World Itself: When she held out her arms, the world itself wrapped around me & held me tight.

True Things: They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday.

Illusion of Control: If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

Kindred Spirits: You're the strangest person I ever met, she said & I said you too & we decided we'd know each other a long time.

Life Plan: I asked her what she planned to do with her life & she said she was way beyond that point already. I'm just happy I remember to be there when it happens, she said.

Lost in the Translation: There are some days when no matter what I say it feels like I'm far away in another country & whoever is doing the translating has had far too much to drink

Making Room: When I first met her, I knew in a moment I would have to spend the next few days re-arranging my mind so there'd be room for her to stay.

Is willing to accept that she creates her own reality except for some of the parts where she can't help but wonder what the hell she was thinking

She laid on my chest & her breathing filled me almost to beyond what I could hold.

im on a 30 day diet i ve lost 15 days already

I just ate my willpower

confusion not only reigns, it pours

you know sometimes when you stop to think and you forget to start again?

they sat side by side at the morning light and looked at the future together

the real reason

There are things you do because they feel right & they may make no sense & they may make no money & it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other & to eat each other's cooking & say it was good.

I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.

There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy to miss that.

Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.

Are you a princess? I said & she said I'm much more than a princess, but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth.

I used to have eyes in the back of my head, she said, but I kept throwing my back out & my chiropractor made me stop.

bittersweet
She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.

She loved her for almost everything she was & she decided that was enough to let her stay for a very long time.

I was waiting for such a long time, she said. I thought you forgot. It's hard to forget, I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone.

I used to wait for a sign, she said, before I did anything. Then one night I had a dream & an angel in black tights came to me & said, you can start any time now, & then I asked is this a sign? & the angel started laughing & I woke up. Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there's no laughter, I know they're not for me.
