¨So, words¨
¨A little mist, a haloed glory,
and the trees, and us,
air in the morning.¨ (Quasimodo)
Ok…where is it?
here´s a screen, a keyboard,
all I need is words…I started
writing in my mind when I
was young because I had
no one to talk to…so I started
talking to myself…the voice
wasn´t me…nor was it not me…
it was a voice that came from
a mind on its own
free to arise without pretense…
I wasn´t pretending to the paper.
It´s just recording what comes up
without editing…. A snapshot of
images made of words. Blocks
of information to stack to create
an image in your blockhead that
you can recognize,
or identify incorrectly
and jump to conclusions
because your mind is a
wild monkey…
know what I mean?
The word is a virus; a dangerous
vehicle that can be misused to
control peoples´ behavior. In this
way, the pen is mightier than the
sword. I was thinking of three of my
favorite writers and that their not
inconsiderable fame came as a
result of not so many poems and
songs. A lot of people could see
some important, yea critical, things
in just a few words of these people.
Of course, the best is a gesture
with no words at all. That´s what
Dylan did in his interviews.
