THE GROCERY

THE GROCERY
In a grocery store, back there, a Marilyn Monroe poster.
Afterward we see the grocery. Poorly arranged food, dirt over the counter and various shelves.
Afterward we see the couple working in the grocery, probably their owners. They are ugly, terribly ugly. Both.
Back there, the Marilyn Monroe poster.

A MERCEARIA

Numa mercearia, lá atrás, um póster da Marilyn Monroe.
Depois vemos a mercearia. Os alimentos mal arrumados, a sujidade no balcão e em várias prateleiras.
Depois vemos o casal que trabalha na mercearia, provavelmente os seus donos. São feios, terrivelmente feios. Os dois.
Lá atrás, o póster de Marilyn Monroe.

Símbolo do sonho universal, sexy, bela.
Lamentavelmente, do lado de fora do sonho tudo é feio, sem glamour.
Somente um mestre como você para captar tudo isto numa foto.
Amei.
Beijos, amigo querido.

A fealdade nos balcões e prateleiras de nossas vidas (mercearias) é mais que muita, Rita! Apesar disso também temos posters de Marilyn nas paredes!

O teu comentário, como habitualmente, deixa-me feliz!

Beijo.
