beginnings

- You have to fill your life with beginnings: of books, of relationships, of school terms, of jobs, of anything
-Why?
-Because that is the only way to fool boredom and depression

What about endings? (They both asked at the same time)

puntos cardinales // cardinal points

no hay punto cardinal para el centro

venir de ahi es venir de ninguna parte

de nada sirve un paraiso

en el mundo de las grandes ciudades

las playas son muy suaves

el calor no aprieta como el frio

las brisas de todas partes

vienen de los puntos cardinales

a los que no se pertenece

pasan refrescan y se van

nadie toma en serio una isla

mucho menos un fragmento

a nadie le interesa un paraiso

en el mundo sin eternidades

no sirve de nada

no vale de nada

venir del centro

//

There is no cardinal point for the center

coming from there is coming from nowhere

there is no use for a paradise

in the World of the big cities

beaches are too soft

and heat isn’t tight like the cold

breezes from everywhere

come from the cardinal points

to which there is no relation

they pass by and leave

nobody takes an island seriously

even less a fragment

no one is interested in a paradise

in the World without eternities

it is useless

it’s worth nothing

coming from the center
