Which Leg Should One Wear An Anklet



be enough to love, could survive the tragedy, full of endless night swallowed his body incompatible thought of his bad temper and impotence. She would give the same love as when they were 14 years. At his side, he would face it.

parents knew it was risky to leave it alone, the thoughts and assumptions, the turn against itself and against its future, when a woman reasons: the decision to harden his heart. So they ordered a taxi pick every day since the accident and left themselves in the door of his home after routine visit to the child. They protect the fragility of unconditional love, non-existent when the only condition emerges. He, no mobility in his legs, he could still embrace the languid body of his girlfriend, both filled their evenings with the work of the college kicked out or sitting, smiling, and looking.

He enjoyed the day with his black hair falling on graph paper, with traces of draft soiling the sheets. Would remember forever, with his pencil behind his ear, her eyebrows distorted by the songs on the radio. He watched, and knew of his unhappiness, he never said it, but I suspected that he was unhappy, not him, who at age 19 lost the ability to walk. It was easy to imagine every night to enter your home without the burden of responsibility that went with the taxi, how long more I pretend that I still wanted to follow him, he could not leave her boyfriend for years just at the precise repudiated when it ceased to be an independent guy.

failed to contain when she accepted an emphatic yes as always incriminating. Against their cries again sat him on the bed, drowning in the humiliation of not being able to get up and go somewhere else to not see its output. If it was bad, why did not even accompany her to look to the door. Not deserve to be wanted by grief, nor learn from others that she had another man.

leaving the scene of her, pinning her womb loneliness, weakness, indifference. The same emotions tonight, despicable as the previous ones, helpless and lying in the middle of a track. The driver, a thief that is too much chaos in the city, threw him out without the crutches of course, compassion was not a virtue that abound on the criminals. The cold wiped his lips angry, every thought made him feel worse, concluded that it was not terrible loss of cards, review contracts, personal documents, or the insecurity that now inspired him with taxi drivers, they actually could not stand was desolation and helplessness that he felt in years since the evening when she left.

His current girlfriend came running to help his brother. His house was a few meters, he would be silent and sleep before saying a word, know the vocabulary inspired by the unbearable pity, whatever you would say it would not help anything. Like others, they said, only endure until my credit is gone.
