ESTAÇÕES DIFERENTES

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them - words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear."

Stephen King - "Different Seasons"

"I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains" - Watchmen - Alan Moore

talvez por isso nunca tenho gostado de palhaços.
as cores berrantes e o nariz falso nunca me enganaram a alma de criança, nem as roupas largas e a barriga de arame me escondeu aos olhos do coração o corpo encolhido de tristeza.
coisas de bicho, talvez...
não, nunca gostei de palhaços, assustavam-me e aínda me assustam. soam a falso.
aliás, no circo, não gostava de nada...
dos animais presos e de olhos mortiços, das contorcionistas com fatos que tinham sempre um buraco que as luzes deixavam entrever, do apresentador com um fraque demasiado coçado e o mágico e a assistente com sorrisos que pareciam postiços.

a única coisa de que gostava era da sensação de sair da tenda e olhar para o céu.
