If...
... if were not for the rain and this broken brain of mine, i would. if were not for the faint smiles and the pale sighs, i would. if it were not for the fake tatoos and the nicotine stains, i would. If it were not for the taste of rhum and cigarettes in your mouth. if it were not for the endless drinking nights. if it were not for all the things that i’ve seen, ... the lost polaroides, the broken glass, the tears. if it were not for those whispering words of yours, i would. if it were not for last summer, i would. If it were not for your beauty, and a striped summer dress, i would. if it were not for the paleness of your skin and the sad sparkle of your eyes, i would. if it were not for all the things that i cannot change or undo, ... i would.

Too Low, Too High
Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun
The clouds drifting through the blinds
A half a million thoughts
Are flowing through my mind

Melancolia Geográfica
Melancolia Geográfica: Sensação de que os lugares que conhecemos já não são aquilo que eram. Ex: “Este sítio dantes era mais fixe, mas agora está diferente!”

Words
"We must find out what words are and how they function. They become images when written down, but images of words repeated in the mind and not of the image of the thing itself."
W.S. Burroughs

Interrupção voluntária da gravidade
a minha irmã chama-se francisca.
a minha amiga chama-se maria.
do nome do meu cão não me lembro.
talvez o meu cão não tenha nome.

So there is no pain
[Trevor has Aeon pinned to the ground.]
Trevor Goodchild: You shot Rubio, and not me. Now, why is that?
Æon Flux: Trevor, don't trouble me with your thin smile.
[she flips them so that she is on top]
Trevor Goodchild: Stop! There's a pain... in my back!
Æon Flux: Can you describe it, in words?
Trevor Goodchild: What?
Æon Flux: I want you to tell me about the pain.
Trevor Goodchild: Sharp... stabbing... piercing...
Æon Flux: You're telling me nothing.
Trevor Goodchild: It feels... ugh!.. .like a nail, twisting into my spine.
Æon Flux: Yes. But there is no nail.
Trevor Goodchild: No.
Æon Flux: So there is no pain.

Aeon Flux
é claro que não tenho palavras suficientes para descrever a influência que a série “Aeon Flux” (1995, Peter Chung) teve sobre mim. foram muitas quintas-feiras à noite passadas na mais absoluta perplexidade e deslumbramento em frente à MTV. e é claro que tudo, ou quase tudo, estava na infinita profundidade dos personagens e na intensidade do texto e dos diálogos (aliás, writing credits - in alphabetical order - Japhet Asher, Peter Chung, Peter Gaffney, Mark Mars). eram quase sempre aqueles textos e diálogos que conferiam à série aquele deslumbramento desapaixonado e inquieto. e não me importo de aqui dizer que não me penitencio nem arrependo de ter pedido emprestadas a Trevor Goodchild as palavras “That which does not kill us, makes us stranger”. ama-se e por isso mesmo recomenda-se.

Kiss me
I am not your food
em julho. adormeci. acordei. vestido. não saí. não sei... há um monte de pensamentos vagos e leves como balões de ar a flutuarem-me no cérebro. e há os blue six, incessantemente no hi-fi. e tenho a impressão de que acabo de me esquecer de tudo aquilo de que não me lembrava.

Território
"Cidade. Porque é um território de liberdade, de democracia, onde confrontamos as nossas diferenças com os outros, onde negociamos diariamente a dificuldade de vivermos juntos e há milhares de anos que o conseguimos fazer. Porque é um território da imprevisibilidade, porque somos muitos, porque estamos juntos, porque temos desejos diferentes. Porque é um território com uma história anterior a nós e que continuará depois de nós. Porque é um território constantemente incendiado de surpresas." Manuel Graça Dias, Arquitecto
I walked through the city limits
no outro dia deixei que "unknown pleasures" rodasse completo no hi-fi. e apercebi-me de que isso não acontecia há muito tempo. apercebi-me também de que é um disco sem principio nem fim. sem tempo. sem lugar. e que é sempre sublime. e que a guitarra em interzone nunca cessa de arrepiar,... "I walked through the city limits /Someone talked me in to do it..."
