Un tercio de mi actual vida,
la malgasto en la máquina trepanadora,
otro tercio mal durmiendo,
y el restante
lo trato de llevar
entre la lectura,
el ocio,
la locura
y la música.
En el tercio final del día/noche,
lo degusto entre unos tragos de vodka
y música de noise-rock,
la mayoria del tiempo
trato de caminar,
planchar algunas camisas
y limpiar la mugre acumulada.
Otras veces
me dedico a golpear mi guitarra Jazzmaster,
imitando los sonidos disonantes
de bandas desconocidas.
O escuchar vinilos
de Miles Davis o Charles Mingus.
En fin,
casi tengo cuarenta años,
y no tengo un plan
para alcanzar una "calidad de vida",
solo me dejo llevar
por el momento,
algunas veces tratando
de dominar la ansiedad
y la melancolía.
U otras veces,
gritando contra el viento.

poema #1
Sobre un cielo grisaceo
escribo estas líneas
para olvidarme intuyo
para conocerme realmente
solo espero el día
en que vos
amada soledad
me dejes intacto
sin sufrir más bajas
que una inconfundible
necesidad de expresarme
libremente
sin conflictos
solo y sin ambición mayor
que lograr
un cliente atmosférico
en la "música"
que hago al golpear
con alevosía mi guitarra
en el que daño mis dedos
esperando el orgasmo infinito
e indoloro.

Hora de salida
Tengo que ir a buscar el libro
de Mario Levrero,
no porque lo necesite,
sino porque una fuerza interior,
me lo exije.
Liquido mis deudas,
adquiero otras;
este es el ciclo actual
de la vida moderna.
Antes,
solo me preocupaba por leer a Bukowksi,
emborracharme,
y tocar violentamente mi guitarra.
En definitiva,
me gustan los "placeres" inócuos
de la vida post-post-moderna.
Me voy,
esta vida de oficina me oxida,
y me nubla el cerebro.

how to be a good writer
by Charles Bukowski
you've got to fuck a great many women
beautiful women
and write a few decent love poems.
and don't worry about age
and/or freshly-arrived talents.
just drink more beer
more and more beer
and attend the racetrack at least once a
week
and win
if possible
learning to win is hard -
any slob can be a good loser.
and don't forget your Brahms
and your Bach and your
beer.
don't overexercise.
sleep until moon.
avoid paying credit cards
or paying for anything on
time.
remember that there isn't a piece of ass
in this world over $50
(in 1977).
and if you have the ability to love
love yourself first
but always be aware of the possibility of
total defeat
whether the reason for that defeat
seems right or wrong -
an early taste of death is not necessarily
a bad thing.
stay out of churches and bars and museums,
and like the spider be
patient -
time is everybody's cross,
plus
exile
defeat
treachery
all that dross.
stay with the beer.
beer is continuous blood.
a continuous lover.
get a large typewriter
and as the footsteps go up and down
outside your window
hit that thing
hit it hard
make it a heavyweight fight
make it the bull when he first charges in
and remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.
If you think they didn't go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you're doing now
without women
without food
without hope
then you're not ready.
drink more beer.
there's time.
and if there's not
that's all right
too.
