Egoísta?



Lunes pesado e indispuesto
No soy yo, es el mundo entero
En crisis post pandemia
Amarillo asoma la guerra.

De que lado está mi frontera?
Ni de un lado ni de otro
Hay quien pueda salir
Ileso de esta guerra.

La tensión aumenta, la gente
se inquieta, los precios suben
y parece que todos coluden
cuando soy el único que sufre en la acera.

En un buen lugar donde
las olas no revientan
Se sienten pasar calmadas
como damas que anhelan.

Turbulencia ajena la que
queda al terminar su pasar
Trago salado, ojos llorosos
y mocos afuera es como queda.

No hay santo ni brujo
en esta esfera, solo las
historias que mal se
cuentan.
