o u t r a s m a n i a s


este post chama-se outras manias porque antes estive a escrever um texto que também tinha manias mas como depois não consegui completá-lo mandei-o para os rescunhos á espera de melhores dias isto não interessa nada mas apeteceu-me partilhar esta inutilidade com todas vosselências dito isto quero dizer que a mania de mostrar o frigorífico num blogue - coisa que me parece quase tão estúpida como urinar sem primeiro abrir a braguilha - me recorda uma cançãozinha saborosa (transformo-me num maniaco homicida cada vez que alguém usa a palavra saborosa para adjectivar algo que não seja comestível)do senhor david byrne que eu muito admiro e cujos versos aqui reproduzo com a devida vénia:



Social Studies (by David Byrne)

I thought that if I ate the food of the area I was visiting.
That I might assimilate the point of view of the people there.

As if the point of view was somehow in the food.

So I would make no choices myself regarding what food I ate.

I would simply follow the examples of those around me.
I would study menus very carefully,
Making note of important differences and similarities.

When shopping at the supermarket
I felt a great desire to walk off with someone else's groceries.

So that I could study them at length And study their effects on me.
As though if I ate their groceries I would become that person;
until I finished their groceries.

And we might find ourselves going to the same places.
Running into one another at the movies.

Or in a shopping mall.
Reading the same books.

Watching the same TV programmes.

Wearing the same clothes.

Travelling to the same places.

And taking the same pictures.

Getting sick at the same time.

And getting well again simultaneously.

Finding ourselves attracted to the same people.
Working at the same job.

And making the same amount of money.

Living identical lives - as long as the groceries lasted.
