De fiecare dac\u0103 c\u00e2nd<\/p>\n

mi se pronun\u021b\u0103 numele gre\u0219it,<\/p>\n

vreau s\u0103-mi cump\u0103r un pistol de juc\u0103rie,<\/p>\n

s\u0103-mi pun ochelari de soare negri,<\/p>\n

s\u0103-mi trag bereta \u00eentr-o parte,<\/p>\n

s\u0103-mi piept\u0103n barba ascu\u021bit,<\/p>\n

s\u0103 deturnez un autobuz plin<\/p>\n

cu turi\u0219ti republicani
\ndin Wisconsin,<\/p>\n

s\u0103-i for\u021bez s\u0103 scandeze<\/p>\n

lozinci anti-americane<\/p>\n

Iubitul meu g\u00e2ndac<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00cen vara \u00een care am dormit<\/p>\n

pe canapeaua luat\u0103 de la JC,<\/p>\n

umblau g\u00e2ndacii<\/p>\n

printre firele<\/p>\n

periu\u021bei mele de din\u021bi,<\/p>\n

n\u0103v\u0103leau g\u00e2ndacii<\/p>\n

din boxele stereo<\/p>\n

ale casetofonului.<\/p>\n

Am aprins lumina<\/p>\n

\u00een buc\u0103t\u0103rie noaptea<\/p>\n

\u0219i am dat de Conven\u021bia<\/p>\n

Na\u021bional\u0103 Republican\u0103<\/p>\n

cursa Indianapolis 500<\/p>\n

pentru g\u00e2ndaci.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00centr-o noapte am visat<\/p>\n

un g\u00e2ndac uria\u0219,<\/p>\n

s-a aplecat asupra mea,<\/p>\n

mi-a atins fa\u021ba<\/p>\n

cu antene bl\u00e2nde<\/p>\n

\u0219i mi-a \u0219optit te iubesc<\/em>.<\/p>\n

M-am trezit d\u00e2ndu-mi palme,<\/p>\n

m-am holbat prin \u00eentuneric<\/p>\n

ore \u00een \u0219ir, mi-am dat seama<\/p>\n

c\u0103 nu era dec\u00e2t un vis:<\/p>\n

g\u00e2ndacul<\/p>\n

nu m\u0103 iubea cu adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tat\u0103l meu, o chitar\u0103<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cardiologul i-a prescris<\/p>\n

un nou medicament
\n\u0219i l-a b\u0103tut pe tata la cap<\/p>\n

s\u0103 nu mai munceasc\u0103,<\/p>\n

dar tata i-a spus: nu pot,<\/em><\/p>\n

nu m\u0103 las\u0103 proprietarul.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pastilele pentru inim\u0103<\/p>\n

par ni\u0219te zaruri \u00een m\u00e2na lui tata,<\/p>\n

juc\u0103tor care are nevoie de bani<\/p>\n

p\u00e2n\u0103 la \u00eent\u00e2i ale lunii.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00cen noaptea c\u00e2nd i-a murit mama<\/p>\n

departe, \u00een Puerto Rico,<\/p>\n

tata s-a ridicat brusc din pat,<\/p>\n

\u00eei bubuia inima<\/p>\n

ca pumnii cuiva \u00eentr-o u\u0219\u0103,<\/p>\n

venit cu soma\u021bie de evacuare.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C\u00e2teva minute mai t\u00e2rziu,<\/p>\n

a bolborosit telefonul<\/p>\n

aduc\u00e2nd vestea decesului.<\/p>\n

Uneori visez<\/p>\n

c\u0103 tata este o chitar\u0103,<\/p>\n

cu o gaur\u0103 \u00een piept<\/p>\n

unde muzica palpit\u0103<\/p>\n

\u00eentre degetele mele.<\/p>\n

B\u0103t\u0103u\u0219ul<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boston, Massachusetts, 1987<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00cen sala de festivit\u0103\u021bi a \u0219colii,<\/p>\n

statuia lui Theodore Roosevelt<\/p>\n

pare nostalgic\u0103<\/p>\n

dup\u0103 r\u0103zboiul dintre spanioli \u0219i americani,<\/p>\n

fiecare pumn t\u00e2nje\u0219te dup\u0103 o sabie<\/p>\n

sau dup\u0103 fr\u00e2iele unor cai cu priviri chinuite<\/p>\n

sau dup\u0103 un podium z\u0103ng\u0103nind de discursuri<\/p>\n

prosl\u0103vind malaria cuceririi.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dar acum \u0219coala Roosevelt<\/p>\n

se nume\u0219te Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico l-a invadat pe Roosevelt<\/p>\n

cu armata sa de copii care c\u00e2nt\u0103 \u00een spaniol\u0103<\/p>\n

pe coridoare,<\/p>\n

copii ca ciocolata care devoreaz\u0103<\/p>\n

proviziile de la cantin\u0103,<\/p>\n

copii care \u00eei picteaz\u0103 pe str\u0103mo\u0219ii ta\u00edno<\/p>\n

s\u0103rind despuia\u021bi pe fresce.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Roosevelt e \u00eenconjurat<\/p>\n

de toate fe\u021bele<\/p>\n

pe care le-a respins odinioar\u0103 cu ur\u0103 eugenic\u0103,<\/p>\n

zic\u00e2ndu-le corcituri, cu pielea de o ras\u0103,<\/p>\n

iar p\u0103rul \u0219i pome\u021bii de alt\u0103 ras\u0103.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pe vremuri, pu\u0219ca\u0219ii marini m\u0103r\u0219\u0103luiau<\/p>\n

prin jurnalele de \u0219tiri din imagina\u021bia lui;<\/p>\n

acum, copiii pun la cale<\/p>\n

cum s\u0103-i dea cu graffiti multicolor<\/p>\n

pe musta\u021ba victorian\u0103<\/p>\n
