A Love Letter
S. Roncagliolo
Dear Esmeralda,
Adult Channel tonight What makes the wind
got me, dear Esmeralda. If you had cable, you could see
. As you have no cable, no cable
boyfriend, you can not. Stay calm, do not you miss
much. The costume is unfortunate, though I suppose
not matter, because they use
little. Right now, just started orgy
between Escarmete O'Hara, her black maid, the
husband, father and the horse. It's the best part, yes.
In fact, the rest of the movie is not worth much.
I know because I've seen it seven times over the past
fourteen days. The adult channel
repeats much, it's true, I know, right? Well, I
confirmed in these two weeks,
since you're gone and my right hand was the only faithful companion
the evenings entertainment. My right hand, pizza boxes
eighteen hundred and twenty
cans of beer, to be precise.
entertains me count. In fact, I tell you all últimamen-
: cans, neon signs on the street, moviegoers
next door, the days, hours, nanoseconds,
the times I remember you,
that very few indeed. Did you know that for the function
midnight, the movie gets exactly
plus twenty-two people Friday on Thursday?
is true, the two weeks has been the same. Twenty
more. And none of those twenty
me, and neither are you, either. I thought I'd come to the cinema
least one from time to time, or perhaps
with a friend, but you have changed
film, I guess you've looked a
closer to home, because here you can not get
to sleep, of course, and it is dangerous to walk alone at night,
right? Yes You never liked to walk alone at night
. Maybe that's why I assume that
not walk alone at night now that you've searched
someone come to your side, not because he will do something in particular
if an assailant is about
and that, just because they want walk alone, that's
all, do not have to be handsome or particularly strong
or anything, but only accompany you when you leave
to be part of the sixty-two participants
average is in midnight at the bar
Black & White, stay with you when you're
between twenty-six on average
roam the streets when you go, one and a half and
stay by your side along the way while reducing the average
heads per square meter
until you reach the elevator door of your house,
where they will be only two, and then cross the threshold
in your apartment, where the population is without me
one, and enter your room, sure, because you either
you like never sleep alone, walking
may be done in order to accounts
distances less than three hundred meters, but
not sleep alone because every night they have exactly the same
duration and also the same dark and empty space
your bed, however, during recent weeks
has doubled, and we must recover
average. But I did not call for
bored with my numbers, Esmeralda,
really just want to tell you the movie. Now that Clark Gable
is done through the mouth and puts it
to a Confederate widows. Is to console
I believe I have not paid much attention
dialogues. You really paid attention to them,
I always thought that cinema should be
moved well, total, no one hears what they are saying, but yes you heard
you could remember scenes and entire films
and repeat their lines, especially
of romantic comedies with Meg Ryan during
last two weeks, thank God, I did not
to see. Because it's time you knew I hate to
Meg Ryan, Esmeralda, I hate everything about her: her eyes darling
of his darling blonde hair, her body almost
tits like spoiled girls,
think there is a cosmetic surgery clinic
special-izing in spoiled children because they are all equal
and between all together do not add or two kilos
breast. But I do digress, the point is that Meg Ryan
I find repulsive and abhorrent, and I accepted
see only ninety-three minutes
French Kiss because it was our first date and wanted
your attention, yes, I wanted to call your attention, mind you, until I told
how much I liked Meg Ryan
idiot and then I had to blow his last four films
, which is exactly what our relationship has lasted
four films
that's stupid. But now I can say no, that
never liked, that looked just thinking
after
would walk three hundred yards to my house and spend the night
increasing population density in my bed, the ten first minutes
talking about the movie and all the rest of the night
doing all the things that Meg Ryan does
but Escarmete O'Hara.
To be honest, I would now like you would see
Carnal Olympics IX, which is the worst sequels
because I do not care nor do I care
Meg Ryan and I care about any of his movies
mariconada or even
think I could have twenty-four people instead of twenty-two functions
midnight on weekends,
not even occur to me that
numerical difference could be us two sitting in row three center
because I always forget your len-
tees, in fact, I know not forget
but hate putting them on because you do not like being seen
with glasses, and I know this is stupid because you look beautiful with glasses
, hell, you look like a
with intellectual pretensions darling, precious, especially when
bangs
you drop on the frame as Meg Ryan, but none of that is relevant at this stage
because they simply
not matter to me, I do not care
anything to do with you, no nothing. I just
my right hand, which has always been with me through all the movies
the idiot that
much longer, and serves as important
like yours, although I whisper in your ear things pretty
drawn from romantic comedies, but I wake
with coffee and bread for trying
burned toast in the oven, at least not
will never, and if so, must be in a horrific accident which probably
I live out
and that you will learn because there will be no one to talk
me, because all our friends have proved
your friends. Ah, because
that is another, and could be returned to any of my
friends, even if the bastard Miki,
you were talking so bad. The well calibration
has not answered any of my calls and that I invited him to come home and see
channel for adults with pizza and beer,
plan of males, but no way. And I do not know whether to feel bad because that stupid
not answer my calls or
because I really need to call that stupid
and answer them. The last time I left on your answering machine recorded
everything
you said it, not fuck I did it, Esmeralda,
just because I felt I should know what you thought were
a damn pants, and you should
remember that you had said that he was the
proof that God does not exist, because there would
could create something as flawed as the oligofrénico
Miki, these intellectual jokes
you gave to do when wearing glasses and you looked beautiful
, remember? also said that you had
told him his mother bore him but it
had shit, that joke was not very intellectual
, right? actually
who said that was me, but you laughed when I said it, so I lied
not both. Or Angel, if anything, could
me back to Angela, was a bit snobbish but
least refused to watch movies of Meg Ryan, that
is more than you can say, I am sure that she wanted
sleep with me, you'll smile,
sure, but sometimes we were in the kitchen
and I felt a certain magnetism, a certain attraction
animal, such as that between Escarmete
O'Hara and the horse, right? In fact, Angela
came a day last week, he pretended
surprised when I told him that we were not together you and me, but
I know that was a lie, he knew and had come
for me. So I took the pizza boxes and the TAS-
on the bed and invited her to see the channel
for adults, but not stay long,
not want to feel that you betrayed so soon, given
equal, let time passes and
give him another opportunity, which will soon accept because
then you may have noticed that you
a hypocrite and a slut, if I may say,
and come to take shelter in my arms and bring
a case of beer and two pizzas with ham. I have already
invited back anytime, but I still think
have not heard his voice mail messages.
But you, dear Esmeralda
know you're hearing this message as you leave, your answering
not say you're not but you can not wait.
Do you know who can not attend?
Because you are there with the retarded that with whom you've probably gone
today
see a Meg Ryan movie, not that I mind, but you can be sure that
this retarded hate to
films of Meg Ryan and has
gone just because he wants your attention and make the seventy-six centimeters
that have been released in your bed, perhaps to be Miki
its sensitivity radish,
now that I think, or maybe Angela, if you have decided
change the option. I tell you not to bother,
not really worry me the least, do not give any importance
not lose any sleep over me, that
be clear, I'd just like to know
not bother him (or discomfort) with my calls or
wanted to spend too much money leaving messages
answer will not be with you in bed
commenting on the latest film by Meg Ryan as
I speak only Escarmete
recorders and O'Hara, which tends not to answer
because her mouth is full. I mean, occasionally I
would rather talk to a human being to
vary, even if you, you know? At the end of the day
do not hold grudges or
'm angry with you just because you've behaved like a whore
championship, I think that is normal after seeing so much
movie asshole that, although
have seen without these lenses you are so beautiful,
in short, in any case, I say this as an example
because I have not really
the slightest interest in talking with you and if you call me, you know what would
? I hang up the phone, Esmeralda,
yes, you hang by a bitch, sorry to tell you
thus, even if right now you lifted the handset
hang immediately, without waiting for
you said my name or an insult, or one of your
criticism as "immature" and stuff
intellectuals who say, do not even invited to view the adult
channel, but to give 3.45
Desirée and I know that yes you would have liked and only
lasts an hour and fifteen minutes, so that before long the two would
able to raise our average,
at least I do, because you do not know how to have the average
as I said I never think of you and the
amount of nostalgia with the joy of having escaped from
you is zero, nothing, no feeling,
and pizza I have surplus and deficit
solitude, so you see, I just call to say
how good I am and how little I need to hear your voice
why I leave this message
not have to hear, but I'll stop now because it has started
the scene where the black slave strip
officer of the Union on the horse, and that's interesting because
has only one official
dust throughout the film, which is exactly one more than
that I've had in these two wonderful weeks
without you. Do not bother to return my call, I will be answering burning
for you to Miki
to Angela, perhaps out of
home at night and I call myself and leave a message
because, really, now I'm free and I can
do whatever you want after that film I will not,
and all the possibilities I have, the only thing I do not think
do is talk to you. Farewell, Esmeralda, and a horse
target you in the ass.
Sincerely, Your boy
