cosas que pasan en abril

Las coincidencias no existen

Hace muy poco por cosas de la vida acabé viendo la película "En tus zapatos", una de Cameron Diaz con Toni Collette, pese a que ya la había visto en un avión durante un laarrgooo viaje. Me llamó la atención descubrir que el personaje de miss Diaz se llamaba Maggie May y que leía en una escena un poemita que me hubiese servido hace un tiempo. Ahí les va:

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
