Blue Brush
Sometimes you get to the story when it's already
started. Maybe all the advertising is over, hopefully you haven't missed the
events before the climax. Sometimes, I don't know if the most common ones, you
enter in the middle of the scene and find yourself naked, sitting on the edge
of the bathtub and looking at the two brushes suspended in the air: "my
brush would be green" - I say to myself. Today, one of them is in the
opposite direction. The other times I have come the blue brush has been staring
at the cells of the pink brush. They are face to face, staring at each other
like two lovers looking into each other's eyes sitting on a park bench. Today,
the blue brush has its back to the pink brush, it is as if it senses the
sleeplessness that arrives at night, as if something were saying to it:
"it is wrong". I don't know if
it' s angry or worried or feeling or refusing its suspicions. The pink brush
wants to hug it, but it does not. The water slides down my body, I see myself
in the mirror just above the brushes, damn glass doors in the showers, damn
romance, damn unconscious. The pink brush still looks at the back of the blue,
which doesn't turn to look at the pink, maybe it will leave someday and condemn
the pink brush to look at the tortuous hollow that will remain in the
container. Before I go, as I usually do, I put the blue brush in its usual
position. They were facing each other, but I didn't feel them the same way and
I left them as they were.
After several months without knowing anything about
her, she called me. I went, because I
always did. She fell asleep, as usual I went to bathe, and again I was in the
middle of the scene, naked, watching how the pink brush now looked at the green
brush. I don't know why, but before bathing I put the two back brushes.
