How nice was future future
the board of the fourth degree,
all done with colored chalk
and a good confidence,
of old,
of those that are no longer available
or paying cash.
.
was really cute, cute
that future
the board in the fourth, had
decent guys holding hands
guys with clean ears
and right middle
surely and teeth brushed.
.
swear it was very pretty
future
the board of fourth grade. There
bulls, dragonflies and rivers
had trains, pigeons and elevators and airplanes
were fields and schools and tall buildings
had cows and sheep grazing
beautifully.
.
was a church and a cornfield
and a marina with many boats.
the background, of course,
wide yellow rising sun,
with her eyes, her mouth, her smile
actually quite similar
to the top of the notebook 'Sun of May'
but anyway it was a wonder that
future
the board of fourth grade.
.
Ah, if I could enter in the future!
In the future one in six colors
the board of fourth grade. How
walk straight into the fat yellow smiley
cozy, human.
How would walk among bulls, dragonflies and rivers
and doves and trains and airplanes.
.
Maybe hand iríatomado
of a decent guy, goodie, well groomed. We would walk
happy and full of hope
because it is clear ... the road would be beautiful and easy
as were the roads of the future
in the future nice
the board of fourth grade.
.
without barriers, rocks,
no wells, no traffic lights
nobody ask
documents or requisitioned us
bearings subversive or we suspect thieves
or extremist or infiltrates.
.
Nobody would get, of course,
in a vicious ghostly Ford Falcon,
far we would go to appear the next day
next to a pile of capsules served,
not say newspapers
chiquititas with his lyrics and his ugly syntax
things like "we proceeded to identify them."
.
No, no,
simply not
because it did not appear at all in the future, because
Miss it had not drawn
with erasers, and chalk and hope
neat and clear in the future
as the board of grade.
Which as we know it was all done
with colored chalk
with a round sun Sol de Mayo
and confidence good, old,
of those that are no longer available
or paying cash.
