Jose was travelling quietly
in an unit of collective transport,
thinking in anything,
when suddenly he felt the was being poked in the shoulder
and a voice, a voice of a kid was saying:
"picture camels, picture camels".
And José, who didn't find reasons
to not paying him attention, he pictured camels.
And the kid said "Now picture
yourself in the desert and dying of thirst"
And José pictured it.
Then the kid said
"picture three guys
beating the hell out of you
while you have your hands tied",
and José didn't like it;
but wanting it or not, he already pictured it.
Then the kid said
"now picture yourself
sitting in a stand of the stadium
and from the field comes a ball,
a very deflected goal-kick
and it gets right in your mouth
and no matter you try, you can't take the ball out of your mouth".
Then José turned around
and as he saw that the kid was with his mother
said "Mrs, quiet him, quiet him"
And the mother said "kid, hush and
leave the man alone".
Then José felt a great inner calm
and could gather all his will
to think of an electrical appliance
while in the bottom of the head were still
remaining sounds of a song
that in that very day some radio station
had played for the nth time.
"Nobody tells me what I need to think,
I think in whatever I want and I live happy with that"
