Nada Não

Por Fabio Ramos

                                                                         Revirando o lixo
                                                                         da vizinhança,
                                                                         você me encontrou.
                                                                         A regra básica
                                                                         “mantenha-se longe de tudo
                                                                         que não lhe pertence”
                                                                         foi solenemente
                                                                         descartada.
                                                                         Você simpatizou
                                                                         com a estampa,
                                                                         com o cheiro
                                                                         pestilento
                                                                         [perfume francês
                                                                         para teu olfato apurado].
                                                                         Até então,
                                                                         vivia solto no mundo;
                                                                         deitando, rolando
                                                                         e fingindo de morto.
                                                                         Fui recolhido
                                                                         entre os escombros,
                                                                         cumprindo minha função
                                                                         como ninguém
                                                                         [um destaque aos olhares
                                                                         de outrem].
                                                                         No decorrer dos anos,
                                                                         assumi com relutância
                                                                         o lado decorativo.
                                                                         Tornei-me visível
                                                                         novamente
                                                                         quando ganhei
                                                                         uma nova serventia:
                                                                         limpar a sola
                                                                         dos sapatos dos visitantes.
                                                                         Que ultrajante!
