You + me


1


'Draw a person' they told us at class, not necessarily pretty.

Just a person.

Express yourself.

But i can't, i always go for perfection.

So i closed my eyes and did it.


(I drew one figure but it wasn't enough.

I did another one but it wasn't enough either.

So i did a third one and although it wasn't enough for me i though it should be enough for class.

What the hell one whould fit the bill.)


Next day they told us it was a psychological test. A self portrait.

But it should be just one person.

We are going home with Joseph, we talk of things irrelevant to the issue but i can't help thinking what the teacher told me after class when i asked her what she though of my sketches.


Nobody has ever brought me 3 sketches for that exercise.

You seem to try to say everything about yourself and nothing at the same time.

Maybe the order of things doesn't matter that much so i will get the story the way i remember it.


First thing i know there is this man who is looking at me with his great big eyes (simple brown they are but with a greenish light around the main circle) his look is so intense it scares me, even when he is not looking straight at me.

We are a perfect mach or so he let me believe. Maybe it is so. Maybe.. because i always try to make him like me so he will spend time with me. He is busy though, he always was and i never could do anything about it.

He loves me.


Things are complicated though.

Once a friend of mine got to tell me 'the things that are and those that are yet to be'(with a taro deck of cards that is).

Fun part is that above the card that represented me she found another woman character and one of great importance to my life for a long time to come. I don't want to be easy on this but she looked exactly like my mum, even funnier part is dad was nowhere around.

Sceila is exactly what you'd call a long story.

We grew up together, i can't even recall when exactly it is i met her but sure thing everything changed from that point on. She supported me like noone else has and our relationship grew stronger as the years passed.Unfortunatelly there came a point were she became very demanding and cruel so it was hurting me to be with her.


That is when everything started.


6


Alone with a red suitcase i'm walking, bursting at each corner.

The suitcase is heavy, in it there is a glass jar.

In the jar there is an octapus, a very angry octapus, it keeps hissing

- Fuck you, you miserable bitch,i ain't going anywhere.


That is Scheila.


7


Hoby Dick.

He has nothing to do with the sea nor with anything else. Unpresedented.


That's a lie.

Hoby Dick is a boy i liked but who was in love with a woman named Maga. For some reason i reminded him of her (for a while) so he fell in love with me as well. When he realised i wasn't really her he was dissapointed and stopped seeing me.


Maga is a fictional character from a book.


8


Then again i am trying to say everything and nothing.


9


Let us call me Agatha for the time being.


10


Shampoo and Conditioner.

Agatha and Scheila are the same person.


11


And i desperately want to remember how they met.

And why.

Τα κρυστάλλινα γουρούνια και η σονάτα του σουρεαλιστικού οπτιμισμού (σε slow motion)

Το γουρούνι, η αρκούδα και το ελεφαντάκι πάνε στο σπίτι του Λούκυ Λούκ όταν αυτός λείπει, εκεί βρίσκουν την Καλάμιτυ Τζέην και την κερνάνε σφηνάκια. Αυτή (που τα χε πιεί και νωρίτερα περιμένωντας τον Λούκυ Λούκ πανω στην άμαξα φάντασμα)παρότι χρόνια στο κουρμπέτι, έχει γίνει σκνίπα οπότε αρχίζει να ξερνάει πάνω στο ελεφαντάκι.Το γουρουνάκι τα παίρνει στο κρανίο και την γαμοσταβρίζει πατόκορφα, αυτή σκιάζεται και αραδιάζει το παραμύθι της 'του τύπου και την χώρισε ο Λούκυ μπροστά σ'ένα μπουλούκι...ναι,ναι!ήταν μαμαλούκοι.Είχαν όλοι ενα παλούκι εκτώς απο το Λούκυ που κρύφτηκε (σ'ενα τεράστιο λούκι) και ποιος τον είδε ...
