...............ao poeta Allen Ginsberg

O poema Death to Van Gogh's Ear deriva na América, 
derruba a calmaria e fisga o tempo com fome. O poeta
está nu, como sempre...  
Allen encontra Vincent, e ao pé da orelha não quer saber 
por onde o pintor andou, andou enterrado. Hoje os
dois dividem uma coca-cola pra por a conversa em dia.
A cada dez anos o poema só fica mais rouco e sádico.

... mover y deslocarse por tierras no catalogadas,
no mapeadas y no delimitadas – o limitadas – por
nosotros mismos.

Un intento de llegar a un territorio que es un
estado emocional, psicologico.

Ser un estranjero, un desubicado.

Sentir el viaje como texturas de sensaciones.

Notas de un diario del pseudo-turista-flaneur
sin destino ni nacionalidad.

Buscando bordes, fronteras, cosas limitrofes olvidadas.

Volver a un espacio nunca abandonado, un paisaje nunca

reconocido - falsificado, como un recuerdo sin saudade. 



... moving over a land not cataloged, not mapped and not
delimited - or limited - by ourselves.

An attempt to reach a territory that is an emotional
state, tactile psychological feeling.
Being a stranger, an outcast, a foreigner.

Noticing the journey as texture of feelings.
Notes of a pseudo-tourist-flaneur diary,
without destination or nationality.
Looking for borders, edges, lost forgotten things.

Back to a never-abandoned place, non familiar space.
A landscape not recognized - falsified,
as a memory missing its inner tenderness
