e poi di colpo arriva... il bacillo! e tutta la cavita' orale diventa una fiamma cavernosa di dolore acuto, e il corpo con il bacillo vacilla, febbricitante, tra letto e divano, divano e poltrona, mentre senti la tua voce come distaccata, come se appartenesse a un altro, ordinare stridulante e vittima che qualcuno per cortesia ti porti succhi d'arancia e te'. ieri ho letto la meta' delle 500 pagine fitte del libro di mahfouz, qualche pagina del libro di Weil (ma il cervello cotonato non mi permise ragionamenti filosofici, dovetti quindi abbandonarlo), un capitolo dell confessioni di sant agostino che subito provoco' una fitta di tosse catarrosa (c'e' un tempo per tutto, e ovviamente anche per sant' agostino), e un articolo da un vecchio time magazine che parla, tanto per cambiare, delle tendenze obese degli americani. insomma una noia mortale.
english reiteration... i was attacked by the bacillus again, it has taken hold of my body making it wavering and feverish, phlegm prone and couch accessory, with a throat that is a cavern of stinging fire. and isn't it fun to waft from bed to couch, ordering juice and tea in that victimized squawk that comes out of you as if it wasnt even your voice? but the best is the quality time you get for reading, something that has become more and more sporadic for me these days, what with the dole bludging and all. but yesterday! i read half of that chunky 500 page book by Mahfouz that tk gave me over a year ago, a few pages of Weil's book, but that didn't last because my brain, itself coated in a layer of phlegm and then reduced to a fairy floss like substance, was not lenient to philosophical reasonings... so my next plan to continue on my lifelong attempt to read the confessions of saint A, did not work either. and then i read an old article in time magazine about the obesity tendencies of the usa, and that was boring.
die bacillus die.
