Propostas para que o domingo não seja chato


Darmos uma volta no carro.



Ficarmos em casa nas irrumações.



Fazer o download da net e revermos o Citizen Kane.



Um passeio de comboio até Cascais, banhados pelo Sol.



Apenas conversar:


We are hard on each other


i)

We are hard on each other
 and call it honesty,
 choosing our jagged truths
 with care and aiming them across
 the neutral table.

The things we say are
true; it is our crooked
aims, our choices
 turn them criminal.

ii)

Of course your lies
 are more amusing:
 you make them new each time.

Your truths, painful and boring
 repeat themselves over & over
perhaps because you own
 so few of them

iii)

A truth should exist,
 it should not be used
 like this. If I love you

is that a fact or a weapon?

iv)

Does the body lie
 moving like this, are these
touches, hairs, wet
soft marble my tongue runs over
 lies you are telling me?

Your body is not a word,
 it does not lie or
speak truth either.

It is only
 here or not here.



Margaret Atwood
(from Power Politics, 1971)
