THE HERMIT CRAB

-Let's see Cortinario with fattened foot If you answer me, who says To everyone who sees him: If my mouth opens You'll open too. Clytocibe: -The Flycatcher From the Cathedral of Burgos. -Very well Cortinario You know what you know. -Today are you going to take the mules to water At the fountain in Ejido? -Why do you say that? -Because when you come for water From the hermitage where I meditate I feel the horseshoes. -Well, you're going to feel them even more When the crab puts you In the cave. -Oh no. Not that. -What do you mean no! You know: saying “oh no” Is like saying *******. -Shut up, silly boy. Pray without sorrow For at the foot of the altar awaits you The Devil who watches over you With a paschal candle Lucent in his hands.
