It's the end of everything

We're running out of water
The vicar's prayer is almost ending
And I want to be the vagrant who is dirty and whose hair is messy
Sleeping in the vertical
Understanding how could someone's life
End before it could end
I prefer Lou Reed from Velvet Underground
I like Silvia Plath, S. Eliot
Emily Dickinson, Lucinda, Adelia
Manoel de Barros, they get immortal because of me
I forget about the crisis in Argentina
I get into a fight with the beggar girl at the traffic sign
In Castilian, yeah
My plans are destroyed, yeah
I stick my finger, I'm so into it
Examining it, I cut my arm
I walk faster, I'm not crazy!
Yeah...
Someone shot a bullet
Through the window of my car
It's poverty
Laughing at me
It was my money
It was my expensive book
I hope they enjoy it
The money they stole
Because I work hard
And I'll get some other money
I took a cab
The Mexican driver
Began to speak about September 11th
A man on the sidewalk was reading "Da Vinci's Code"
Or was he reading a book about how to sell things?
At the bus stop, there was a Peruvian man
Wearing many adornments
Selling Nike shoes
Selling bicycles, Light Coke and pocketknives
He accepts checks as a payment for his stuff
News about Iraq on the TV of the snack house
Popular news
All over the places
It's morning, my dear, no one knows it
If someone retreats or if someone invades
If someone has a name or if someone is hungry
I hope they enjoy
The small bit that will remain
If many people live with it
The small bit that they can have
It's the end of everything
