Avenida da República, II
The noises repeat themselves in the avenue
and also the light
as yesterday
the traffic's death rattle in the lane
the steps' drag on the sidewalk
the talks' murmur at the outdoor coffee shop
the exposed navels over slipped trousers of fat girls
the works on the underground
the blind persons with offensive moneyboxes
the empty offices before the lunch
and also after
the infernal hot of the August month
the forest fires
the extended dry
the ozone's hole
the beaches not so far away
at South and West of Lisboa
the sea repeats itself through each wave
and the light is of foam
as yesterday.
