Question 1

Solitude (TV glass)

Answer 1

Tired of being ignored by the faces through the TV screen, he moves up close and
pleads: “Why, why, why don’t you notice me?” But they continue as before, talking
amongst themselves as if he isn’t there.
He moves closer still, till his nose touches glass, and sobs: “Why, why, why do you
ignore me, can’t you see I’m just like you?” Sometimes he’s sure they can see him, but
still they carry on as if he doesn’t exist.
Then it happens again: one of them stands up, approaches him from across the room,
and reaches out a hand. He hears the click, and darkness consumes him.

Question 2

No creo en la vía pacífica Nicanor parra

Answer 2

no creo en la vía violenta
me gustaría creer
en algo pero no creo
creer es creer en Dios

es encogerme de hombros
perdónenme la franqueza
no creo ni en la Vía Láctea.
