Today's Day
no matter what they say on television
outside the trees grow indifferently
it's very strange to see nothing
scattered in the kitchen cupboard
all you can do is exclaim oh lord
you see the bills hanging
on the magnets stuck to the fridge
fluttering like the leaves on the trees
the light wind agonizes
and drowns out the sound of despair
that has already reached the edge
we used to joke about it
the exponential advance
of everything that is negative
it just seemed like a runaway world
so things changed quickly
and began to boil down to blood
soon the silence returns disturbing
I look inside the closet again
and it looks untrue
is the sad picture of poverty
the last cereal box is expired
but that's ok because the milk too
