The timekeeper
For Renata D.
The timekeeper leans his finger against the instant, broaching itself like fireworks, regularly strolling during the game's posteriority. All are looking for the ball, up and down, some thousands of five- sided snakeheads. Tenacious, the umpire persists in whistling bureaucraticly: tedious match. The timekeeper falls asleep and time seems to be come to a full stop. Outside some other referees allow invisible bloods for the followers: unequal combat. But, notwithstanding, the unbribable greyish cricket, so omnipresent as tendencious, looks hard at the circle only, speedy displaced, or also slowly, quite slowly, and it doesn't surmount the cosmic resistance, the membranous parquet's effort, failure, human and inexorable if will coexists in frontiers areas. The mind of the referee rises off the ground beyond current horizons making up the players theatrical market. White borders, one pitch and spectators, confined to the tiers, polite masters of soft salt pop corn. The timekeeper, in spite of that supposed by darkened visionary ones, is just a vulgar voyeur of some free and curved corporal surfaces, pastime dressing his comfort with phosphorescent clothes's colours. A good nibble well savoured and enjoyed by the timekeeper.
