«Chicago dreams».
Després d’algun vers infantil en anglès, em vaig atrevir a escriure aquest homenatge a Chicago que és, alhora, un petit cant al dinamisme capitalista i una consciència de la nostra petitesa.
«Chicago dreams».
Like a river that never stops,
cars and more cars at late night
flood in the highway and its roads.
Everyone has a wish, no matter what kind.
I review far and lost desires,
alone in a strange hotel bed.
But to build removable empires,
Chicago dreams, Chicago never rests.
Why did you decide to break the sky?
Where is the deep power of your will?
The lake is peaceful in your east side,
but always is rising the downtown tide.
I review far and lost desires,
alone in a strange hotel bed.
But to build removable empires,
Chicago dreams, Chicago never rests.
Joan.Amenós Álamo, 2014 spring.
