Era singur \u00een salon, numai el \u00een patul s\u0103u metalic, iar ap\u0103 nu putea s\u0103 bea dac\u0103 nu se ridica din el s\u0103 se duc\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 la cea mai apropiat\u0103 f\u00e2nt\u00e2n\u0103 mecanic\u0103 de pe holul extern. De fel era cam lene\u015f \u015fi mi\u015fcarea \u00eei displ\u0103cea total. Prefera s\u0103 se ab\u0163in\u0103 s\u0103 fac\u0103 un lucru pe care \u015fi-l dorea dec\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi \u00eentrerup\u0103 inactivitatea absolut\u0103 printr-o activitate imperfect\u0103. A\u015fa g\u00e2ndea de obicei: c\u0103 orice e mai bine s\u0103 existe \u00een absolut, chiar \u015fi absen\u0163a acelui lucru, dec\u00e2t \u00eentr-o propor\u0163ie relativ\u0103 ce pur \u015fi simplu \u00eel trivializeaz\u0103. \u015ei lenea, dac\u0103 e tr\u0103it\u0103 perfect, e cu mult mai nobil\u0103 ca h\u0103rnicia, care e oricum o stare plin\u0103 de sincope \u015fi, \u00een consecin\u0163\u0103, impur\u0103. Filosofia de via\u0163\u0103 \u00eei pl\u0103cea s\u0103 o aplice \u015fi \u00een cele mai ne\u00eensemnate lucruri, cum ar fi b\u0103utul unei c\u0103ni de ap\u0103, \u015fi nu ar fi putut cu niciun chip s\u0103 \u00ee\u015fi sting\u0103 setea dac\u0103 nu ar fi g\u00e2ndit-o mai \u00eent\u00e2i \u00een termenii propriului sistem meditativ. P\u00e2n\u0103 la urm\u0103, credea savantul incoruptibil din el, o can\u0103 de ap\u0103 aruncat\u0103 pe g\u00e2tlej nu poate s\u0103 aib\u0103 vigoarea unei adev\u0103rate c\u0103ni de ap\u0103 b\u0103ut\u0103 dintr-o sorbitur\u0103 dac\u0103 nu prinde contur \u00een minte \u00eenainte de a se materializa \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103 \u015fi apoi direct \u00een stomac.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen salon lumina crescuse destul de mult \u00een ultimele minute. Diminea\u0163a se maturizase \u015fi \u00eencepea deja s\u0103 \u00eemb\u0103tr\u00e2neasc\u0103 \u00een pr\u00e2nz. Dar pr\u00e2nzul era \u00eenc\u0103 departe \u00eenspre amiaz\u0103, iar setea din el cre\u015ftea v\u0103z\u00e2nd cu ochii. \u00cencepuse s\u0103 \u00eel chinuiasc\u0103 \u015fi ar fi r\u0103mas \u0163intuit la pat dac\u0103 chinul ar fi trezit la culoare \u015fi la palpita\u0163ie \u015fi algezicele sale stele verzi. \u00cen locul lor, cerul continua s\u0103 \u00eei fie negru ca fundul de smal\u0163 tocit al c\u0103nii din care obi\u015fnuia s\u0103 bea ap\u0103 \u015fi setea din el prinse a-l sorbi \u00een \u00eentregime. Acum nu doar gura \u00eei ardea de ap\u0103, acum \u015fi sufletul \u00eei ardea de durere, iar ochii \u00eei ardeau acum de stele. Trebuia s\u0103 bea ap\u0103 imediat. E o certitudine, \u00ee\u015fi spunea, faptul c\u0103 sunt cumplit de \u00eensetat. Se ridic\u0103 din pat \u015fi f\u0103cu trei pa\u015fi \u00een \u00eendep\u0103rtarea lui apoi se opri \u015fi se uit\u0103 \u00een urm\u0103. Patul nu reac\u0163ionase \u00een niciun fel la desc\u0103rcarea organic\u0103 proasp\u0103t produs\u0103. \u00cempietrise parc\u0103 \u00een forma metalic\u0103 ce i se d\u0103duse de la prima sudur\u0103. Patul era un pat \u015fi \u00eenc\u0103 patul \u00een care fusese repartizat la internare. \u00centoarse capul dezam\u0103git de la imaginea \u00een orizont a patului nemi\u015fcat din locul s\u0103u. Privi \u00eenainte \u00eenspre u\u015f\u0103 \u015fi se puse \u00een mi\u015fcare pentru a str\u0103bate c\u00e2t mai repede distan\u0163a r\u0103mas\u0103 \u00eentre el \u015fi ie\u015firea din salon. \u00ce\u015fi impuse s\u0103 nu se mai g\u00e2ndeasc\u0103 la pat \u015fi nici la domnul s\u0103u mobilier pe care mai inten\u0163iona s\u0103 \u00eel contacteze. Mai t\u00e2rziu, \u015fi-a zis exact \u00een pragul u\u015fii, dup\u0103 ce \u00eemi sting \u015fi setea. F\u00e2nt\u00e2na mecanic\u0103 se afla la numai c\u00e2\u0163iva metri de el. Dac\u0103 \u015fi-ar \u00eencorda \u015fi numai pe sfert mu\u015fchii abia ref\u0103cu\u0163i dup\u0103 b\u0103taia pe care o primise \u015fi ar fi deja cu trei sferturi din mers mai aproape de sursa artificial\u0103 de ap\u0103. C\u00e2nd ajunse \u00een fa\u0163a ei, se aplec\u0103 pu\u0163in din spate, re-cre\u00e2nd par\u0163ial cercul vertebral de asear\u0103, numai cu inten\u0163ia, \u00een acest moment, s\u0103 scurteze drumul de la apa \u0163\u00e2\u015fnind vioaie din orificiul aparatului p\u00e2n\u0103 la buzele sale arse de \u00eensetare. Cana din care bea el de obicei disp\u0103ruse \u00een mod misterios \u015fi \u00een consecin\u0163\u0103 trebuise s\u0103 se aplece pentru a bea. Nu \u00eei convenise deloc situa\u0163ia \u015fi se sim\u0163ea ca \u015fi cum s-ar fi \u00eenchinat la o divinitate incolor\u0103, inodor\u0103 \u015fi insipid\u0103. Numai dup\u0103 ce setea \u00eei disp\u0103ruse \u00een \u015fuvoiul de ap\u0103 ne\u00eencetat \u00eemprosp\u0103tat din foarte str\u00e2mtul cerc de rugin\u0103 metalic\u0103 a f\u00e2nt\u00e2nii mecanice \u015fi-a dat seama c\u0103 gre\u015fise. Nu m-am \u00eenchinat niciunei zei\u0163e, pentru c\u0103 sexul divinit\u0103\u0163ii trebuie s\u0103 fie identic cu genul substantivului care o nume\u015fte, \u015fi nici nu m-am dat pe mine drept ofrand\u0103, cum am fost tentat, pentru o clip\u0103, s\u0103 cred, vorbea din nou cu savantul \u00een stare latent\u0103 din el, ci, dimpotriv\u0103, accentu\u0103 ideea cu ce-a avut la \u00eendem\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 o accentueze, i-am dat acestei zei\u0163e ude propria mea sete ca ofrand\u0103. Am \u00eempu\u015fcat astfel doi iepuri sacri dintr-o singur\u0103 lovitur\u0103 incapabil\u0103 totu\u015fi s\u0103 \u00eemi activeze cerul plin de stele verzi: m-am pus bine \u015fi cu divina f\u0103ptur\u0103 \u015fi, \u00een acela\u015fi timp, am sc\u0103pat \u015fi de ce nu mai aveam nevoie s\u0103 am. Bun t\u00e2rgul f\u0103cut, \u00ee\u015fi termin\u0103, momentan, dizerta\u0163ia. Mul\u0163umit de c\u00e2t\u0103 ap\u0103 b\u0103use, se \u00eendrept\u0103 din spate \u015fi o porni \u00eenspre salon. U\u015fa era \u00eenchis\u0103 a\u015fa cum o l\u0103sase \u015fi, enervant, patul nici nu se urnise din loc. Salonul \u00eensu\u015fi, tot golul plin cu tot felul de lucruri spitalice\u015fti din el, nu suferise nicio transformare. Plictisit de egalitatea f\u0103r\u0103 sc\u0103pare \u00een care se cufundase, deschise u\u015fa, intr\u0103 \u00een salon \u015fi se urc\u0103 din nou \u00een pat. Dac\u0103 tot nu pot face nimic s\u0103 mai variez pu\u0163in aceste lucruri at\u00e2t de absurd identice \u00eentre ele, m\u0103 culc. \u015ei c\u0103zu pe loc \u00een somnul cel mai egal imaginabil.<\/p>\n
