DEAD

So many people on the street
youngs adults and olds
some are faster than others
worried and relaxed
busy and lazy
lovers and abjects
walk to a destiny or are lost

I imagine all dead
and fallen to the ground

they don't know if they lived

///

MORTOS

Tanta gente na rua
jovens adultos e velhos
uns são mais rápidos do que outros
preocupados e descontraídos
atarefados e indolentes
amantes e odiosos
caminham com destino ou perdidamente

imagino-os todos mortos
e caídos no chão

não sabem se viveram
