Mordiendo y Esquivando las Patadas

Reptil de pantano se despierta y fuma.
Después, dirige sus malditos pasos hacia el baño
tal vez susurre a la nínfula gastada
palabras de ánimo
y se duche por respeto.

Reptil de pantano hace oídos sordos y continúa
mordiendo y esquivando las patadas
frenando justo en los momentos terribles
investigando aquí y allí, donde encontrar su suerte.
La nínfula ajada regresa a las sábanas
se pone de perfil
otea un rato la ventana encendida
se decide
se arriesga
Junta las palmas de las manos y dice:
No.


Time- Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought i'd something more to say
