Hoje, ontem, amanhã.

Hoje,

Futuro-mais-que-perfeito do ontem,

O resto é todo.

Intrépido enquanto,

Rarefeito antes e depois

Deste momento

Que não tem começo nem fim.

E, fantasmagórico, amanhã

Contradiz o espaço

O xêro.

E o gosto é quanto

Que não se conta.

E o verso, torso, o gosto

Que permanece.

Cat and Mouse

Who are you? Someone knocked three times on my thoughts and made me shiver like the day before.

Was it you? Something crawled my back up to the neck, it grabbed my hair, and said some words.

Two-face girl, who next am I gonna see if in two days I saw two different lights?

First it hit you on the street and, from that angle, you looked sweet,

Then it hit you on the whole and you looked like I don’t even know.

All I know is that I need more yesterdays, to get distracted, the day after, for a minute, feel that shiver-replay.

And if you would, girl from the hood, help me get rid of this heavy hat pressing my head, I know you could.

Just go downhill until you see the street where the river used to be, there you’ll find the whole of me


Waiting since the day before, hoping that you won’t forget you are supposed to come and free me from that hat.

Curly Girl

Intro ( G - A - F - E - C - B )

G - C

Babe, I’m about to explode, You should have told me how you work.

Half kiss, guess it’s enough, find you sexy, wanna have you, but I’ll keep you for desert.

Curly girl, your hair is twisting my mind, Don’t mind waiting, I’m just saying when you’re mine you’ll twist all night.

Oh really? Now you wanna compete? If you think I am a rookie guess the last guy I just beat?

Come on hon, I don’t care who you’re with. I just wanna have my share, I won’t be jealous or a bitch.  

G - C - D - D# - D

Ok, let me think just a bit. To be honest I don’t know if I can keep up with all this.

Say what???

G - C - D - D# - D

Just saying even if you’re the best, when I get my hands all over you it will be so much mess.

G - C

So what? Who said more mess is worse?

Say what???   

What if we could figure out a way to clean the dirt and go

Intro ( G - A - F - E - C - B )

No clue what you mean  /  Shut the fuck up and sing with me:

Come with me let’s go

To this place unknown

Promise you’ll have fun

Least I’ll make you smile

A reta e o ponto

Como sói dizer-se

Dói

Ser um só corpo

E não poder

Preencher o quarto

Ser cem em dialética

Binário em aritimética

Sem transcender a barreira

Entre o possível

E o factível

Pudesse compartilhar

Com meus pares

Quiçá tocar

Em conjunto

Notas que só se encontra se não se busca

Seriam tantas canções

Mas que seria

Daquele momento

Meu?

E qual a graça

Do particular

Não-traduzível

Por definição

Tomar a forma

Quadrada

Inerente à tradução

Da sensação em equação?

Golden Slumbers

Late thoughts, early morning, Was I dreaming or thinking?

Was I in charge of that mellow orchestra?

Conducting the notes which shall come hereafter,

Taming my fears, scared yet laughter

Glows up my face as I go up

That stage and look at you.

I turn my back and all is quiet,

Lift my arm and all in fire,

Notes are flying side by side,

Reaching ears, souls and minds.

That’s my hope, my eyes are closed.

Final note and I turn back,

Eyes wide open, you’re not there.

Yet tomorrow never knows
Whether the tide comes or goes.

Can you vivisect a moral agent?

Homo Economist,
Let's make a deal.
You say your model
Need not be real.
For agents act
As if they behaved
In such and such fashion,
Thus morals are vain.

I take your claim,
My friend Eco,
And respect your game,
Are we friend or foe?
Though one point need be
Clarified.
I did not get
Where morals lie.

We come full circle,
You explain again.
I'm just trouble minded
And can't understand.
Plausible, neat and wrong,
That's what it seems,
Yet it is quite hard
To discuss the seams.

So what's the deal?
Are you ready to talk?
Tell me why should one worship
Your method as God.
Religion disguises in so many forms
And sticking to dogmas is one of its norms.
But meet me half way on this sweet coffee-shop,
I know you make more, but we'll split up the cost.
