Zodiac
" People pay attention to you. 'Where have you been?' and you answer:
"Here but you
didn't notice me."

"Don Pedrito! "
"beginnings
not thought of challenge you"
"Don Pedriiiito! "
"Talk today to a stranger"
"Don Pedrito! "
"I expect to meet a beautiful girl tomorrow."
" A beautiful girl? Don Pedrito, have you become a don Juan without
my knowledge?"
" A beautiful girl or a business meeting..."
"Since when have you been in business?"
" Since when have you broken into my business? It's my birthday tomorrow
and I try to find a zodiacal constellation by the book"
" Are you born, don Pedrito? I mean, are you born under a sign, like
all the humans?"
" What have you thought? Even animals are born under a sign, aren't
they?" He looks at me slyly: "I am a Sagittarius, what do you
say of this?"
" And after the Chinese zodiac?" I find myself asking as if
I didn't know I cannot catch him. But of course I am interested to know
when such a being was born.
" At the beginning of the sign" he laughs.
" Is this in November?"
" No, I mean the beginning of the zodiacal sign" He makes fun
on me.
" Worldly beings like to learn about their destiny and I am of this
world. Sometimes, I am more of this world than you'd like to believe.
World likes to think we do this or that thing because we are Sagittarius
or Scorpio as they like to believe the fortune
teller knew you would be got up in the morning by a phone or that
a Sagittarius and a Gemini would always divorce. We like to be told that
" somebody
nearby feels lucky and you might be the cause" or that you're
going to have a real "insight
into the future tendencies" today, that "you'll
shine bright this night" , or that "it's
a good day for traveling and love" or take the piece of advice of
"putting your soul in everything
that you do". There are hundreds of such places and they are not useless;
We discover time and enclose it in words and then we take it out again
just to bury it deeper. It's a beautiful metaphorical game. Under which
sign you said you were born?
