Jaque mate 1916


Un perro golpea la puerta del patio
Arriba el vecino le pega a su mujer
La línea amarilla divide el asfalto
Y afuera la gente no sabe qué hacer.

Veo gasolina flotando en un charco
Haciendo arcoiris debajo del pie.
Un viejo se encuentra a su doble en un banco
Y leen la prensa jugando ajedrez.

Tristan Tzara jugaba ajedrez con Lenin
La misma calle que nació Dada
A veces presiento que fui una pieza,
Que aquel tablero era mi ciudad.

Tristan Tzara jugaba ajedrez con Lenin
La misma calle que nació Dada
Un año más tarde salió el fantasma
Recorriendo el mundo hasta mi ciudad.

Un perro se bebe a su doble en un charco
Se traga el arcoiris y se echa a correr
La mujer del vecino golpea el asfalto
Y la puerta de arriba no sabe qué hacer.

El vecino golpea al perro en un banco
Combina colores sobre su piel
La prensa se pone amarilla en el charco
Y afuera los pobres no saben qué hacer.

Tristan Tzara jugaba ajedrez con...

Los viejos dividen la puerta y el banco
Afuera los perros no saben qué hacer.
Yo leo la prensa y salto los charcos
Y encuentro a mi doble en una mujer.

Un perro, la puerta, el fantasma y el banco,
La prensa, los pobres, el pie y la mujer
La línea amarilla, los viejos y el charco
Son piezas que flotan en un ajedrez
Sin saber qué hacer...
