It Rains

Today I will become selfish

The raindrops

Hit my window

I try to sleep

They wake me up

***

As if they say:

"Get up, son"

"Do something with yourself"

"Do not drown in despair"

***

I look at the street

In front of the building

The cars come and go

Like worker ants

***

Today I will not think

About love

Today I will become

Selfish

***

I wait at the window

Like my grandmother, once upon a time

But what do I wait for

I do not know

***

The black pen

Scratches the white notebook

And continutes writing

As if without my awareness

***

The hot coffee

Pierces my nostrils

With its attractive

Aroma

***

"Another day has gone"

I say to myself

But what day?

It's not even noon!

***

As if I know

That I will waste my day

But I am happy because

It's the first time I don't write about love
