Starting with me, the Benfica District is aged
What if our week was this violet?

Now one can feel the cold to the bone

OUR MEGALOPOLIS


Our megalopolis
Of cars, concrete, sewer pipes laid beneath the streets, cars rolling on four black tires
Of cars which seemingly of their own volition stream like insects into the city or through the city streets after which to crawl back to their nets
To rest on a concrete pad
Ensconced in a garage, resting with roof, walls, an elaborate door
(A television or computer screen going nearby
Casting its blue lights
Like a blue potion pooling inside a room
With some marble countertops and food contained in plastic packaging)
Our cars cleaned on the inside or not cleaned in the inside
A shock of minute emergencies piled up into accumulated messes of snacks, documents, trash, jackets, pennies, paint samples, school work, old mail, and an empty cup
Our cars like cups swiftly contain us and carry us througout the city where
I'd like to walk up the streets of my own volition and fall into the other's eyes

A NOSSA MEGALÓPOLE
A nossa megalópole
De carros, betão, canos de esgoto debaixo das ruas, carros a circular sobre quatro pneus pretos
De carros que aparentemente de sua própria vontade afluem como insectos à cidade ou atravessam as suas ruas e depois rastejam de regresso aos seus ninhos
Para descansarem num bloco de betão
Escondidos numa garagem, recolhidos com telhado, paredes, porta automática
(Uma televisão ou écran de computador por perto
Projectando as suas luzes azuis
Tal como uma poção azul derramada numa sala
Com algumas bancadas de mármore e comida dentro de embalagens de plástico)
Os nossos carros limpos por dentro ou não limpos por dentro
Um exagero de bagatelas empilhadas numa bagunça de snacks, documentos, lixo, casacos, moedas, amostras de tinta, trabalhos de casa, correio antigo e um copo vazio
Os nossos carros como copos que nos contêm e levam através da cidade onde de minha livre vontade
Gostaria de passear nas ruas e cair sob o olhar das outras pessoas
