Biografia, no, Poesia si

Caracas se cae Caracas se mantiene Caracas de azúcar Caracas de acero.

« Aquí practicamos, aquí lo logramos » clama la Renault, europeos con convicción. Contigo Caracas, contigo me quedo, grita la pared de graffiti solidario.

Hotel Hilton y museo de artes altiva mezquita y sinagoga sefardita, bandera de ocho estrellas y patria nueva. Barrio Sta. Rita, bajada en picada, ranchos de lata, calle de dos metros, autobus destartalado, colmado, doña musiua* en carro privado, blindado, cuatro por cuatro, vidrios ahumados, aire acondicionado, chofer hermético,malhumorado.

Basura desbordante,sol aplastante. Niños morenitos andan abandonados. “Paga tus tributos” dice el gobierno bolivariano, “Ahora Venezuela de todos es”.

Y tú te vas por no quedarte en ese trópico desordenado que te jala como un imán, te llama, y si te dejas, te atrapa entre sus lianas te chupa el soplo, lacera la piel y te planta un beso de cal y miel.

Adios Caracas, conmigo para siempre
