YANKY GO HOME Pero llevame contigo YANKEE GO HOME But take me with you...
WHAT DOES AN OLD MAN GAIN BY EXERCISING
what will he gain by talking on the phone
what will he gain by going after fame, tell me
what does he gain by looking in the mirror
Nothing
each time he just sinks deeper in the mud
It's already three or four in the morning
why doesn't he try to go to sleep
but no--he won't stop doing exercise
won't stop with his famous long-distance calls
won't stop with Bach
with Beethoven
with Tchaikovsky
won't stop with the long looks in the mirror
won't stop with the ridiculous obsession about continuing to breathe
pitiful--it would be better if he turned out the light
Ridiculous old man his mother says to him
you and your father are exactly alike
he didn't want to die either
may God grant you the strength to drive a car
may God grant you the strength to talk on the phone
may God grant you the strength to breathe
may God grant you the strength to bury your mother
You fell asleep, you ridiculous old man!
but the poor wretch does not intend to sleep
Let's not confuse crying with sleeping
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT
To make a long story short
I leave all my possessions
to the Municipal Slaughterhouse
to the Special Unit of the Police Department
to Lucky Dog Lotto
So now if you want you can shoot
By the way
we also hold these truths to be self evident
that all men are created equal
that they have been endowed by their creator
with certain inalienable rights
that among these are life
Liberty
& the pursuit of Happiness
& last but not least
that 2+2 makes 4
unless otherwise instructed
Truth, like beauty, is neither created nor lost.
United States: the country where liberty is a statue.
In the cage there is food, not much, but there is food-outside are only great stretches of freedom.
Laughing like crazy
the child goes back to the city
gives birth to monsters
creates earthquakes
hairy women run naked
old folks who look like fetuses laugh and smoke.
