A NEW WORLD

My old lady dropped a needle

From the cloth she was sewing

A fart of zaracatan or tailor’s fart buzzed

That, in the silence of the afternoon

Made me flee quickly from the sewing room.

The news from an old radio, Iberia brand

That my old man listened to very attentively

Made me stop in the dining room

Because it announced that because of fashion

Because of use and with dead dictator teachers

They want to implant sacred fascism

As if this were something new

Because since time immemorial

It appears in congresses and senates

And in all the processions of the temples.

-Old man, I said to him. The feast of sacred fascism

And sacred communism

Is the feast of the innocent peoples murdered.

All their governments

Are governments that allow crimes and deaths

Chairs allow.

He reprimanded me saying:

-Don’t talk nonsense, scoundrel.

The universal history of human understanding

It proves it well:

That the unbelievers, morons and deluded

Dictators and serial killers

Have great appreciation.

I left home. And, in the street I stumbled

With a man who, by his appearance

Seemed to be taken from a winter’s tale

Perhaps from the G. Adolfo Bécquer’s “Miserere”

Who, when spitting towards the sky

Almost the spit fell on my head

From this idiot.

He spoke to me, and said to me asking:

-What do you think about the fact that from America

We get a sacred fascist Donkey

Whoreman and multimillionaire?

I answered him sarcastically:

-It’s not a donkey, it’s an old bulldog

A waterman who takes fountain pens

And colored and black pencils

Who has made a cologne

With the smell of donkey sperm

That if you put it in your hair

Will give you the glow, fire, flame

Of his carrot head.

-Apparently, he answered me

They have made it to their taste and whim

A vihuela or guitar

Supposed machine for making money

For the use of criminals

Well, he wants to imitate the Argentine lighter

Who, with his chainsaw

Wants to saw the hole that fits

Between the legs of men

Especially women

Who follow him and adore him.

-Daniel de Culla
