Fantasmas

phantom

¿Que es un fantasma?
Un evento terrible condenado a repetirse una y otra vez
Un instante de dolor quizás
Algo muerto que parece por momentos vivo
O un sentimiento suspendido en el tiempo
como una foto borrosa
Como un insecto atrapado en ámbar

Un fantasma, eso soy yo…

Fragmento de El espinazo del diablo, donde Federico Luppi clava cada palabra con esa voz que tiene.

Deaf-mute

Laughing Man

I thought what I’d do was, I’d pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn’t have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something they’d have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They’d get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I’d be through with having conversations for the rest of my life.
