#hive. Un saludo a toda la comunidad de Literatos, y a los aficionados a la literatura. En esta oportunidad les comparto este relato breve y espero que les guste.
Espa帽ol
El sujeto del malet铆n compr贸 una dona, y se dispuso ansiosamente a devorarla. Primero sumergi贸 la lengua en su cubierta azucarada, con cuidado de no hacer caer ni una sola migaja de dulce. Sus papilas gustativas estallaron de placer al contacto del glaseado esponjoso. La textura crujiente se quebr贸 con cada bocado, en fragmentos de harina y mantequilla. Masticaba lentamente, haciendo que cada bocado se derritiera en el paladar. Ten铆a los ojos casi cerrados.
Cerca a 茅l, un hombre muy viejo observaba atentamente la escena; ten铆a una indumentaria estrafalaria, fuera de toda noci贸n de moda acaecida en los 煤ltimos 90 a帽os, por lo menos. Parec铆a sacado de otra 茅poca y de otro lugar. Aunque no dec铆a nada, sus gestos revelaban un profundo desagrado.
"隆Vaya espect谩culo m谩s degradante y despreciable!" -pensaba-. "Este tipo sin duda representa todo lo que est谩 mal en el mundo moderno. Se embrutece a s铆 mismo con az煤car y grasa, buscando una simple satisfacci贸n sensorial que entumece su mente."
"Oh, Dios m铆o, qu茅 detalle m谩s asqueroso son esos dedos grasientos, y el brillo bobalic贸n de sus ojos, observen de qu茅 manera obscena chupa los restos del papel. 隆En mis tiempos, esta groser铆a lo llevar铆a sin duda a la c谩rcel!"
Un hombre con gafas de sol se acerc贸 al viejo, toc谩ndole amistosamente la espalda.
--- Tranquilo, vejestorio; s茅 lo que est谩s pensando. Te conozco desde que eras un beb茅 -dijo misteriosamente.- 驴Otra vez indignado por el mundo actual? A m铆 en cambio me divierte mucho, jaj谩. Tambi茅n hay que saber divertirse de vez en cuando, satisfacer los apetitos ordinarios de la vida. Comer una dona no lo vuelve a uno un ser inferior. Todos tenemos partes bajas y partes altas; es la mezcla lo que nos hace humanos. Es la belleza del equilibrio. Ad谩ptate, esto es el mundo moderno.
--- 驴Equilibrio? 驴Qu茅 equilibrio puede haber entre el alma y la carne, lo eterno y lo ef铆mero? Solo puede haber una jerarqu铆a, donde lo superior reine sobre lo inferior. Pero con estas vulgares visiones del siglo XXI se me acaba de abrir el apetito. 驴John, me invitas a un caldo de pata de cordero?
--- Jajaja, 隆estas loco, Edgar! Conozco un lugar muy bueno...
Mientras, el comedor de donas iba por su sexta delicia, apartado del mundo.
#HIVE. A greeting to the entire community of Literati, and to literature lovers. On this occasion I share this short story and hope you enjoy it.
English
The subject of the suitcase bought a donut and eagerly set about devouring it. First he dipped his tongue in its sugary coating, taking care not to let a single crumb of sweet fall. His taste buds exploded with pleasure at the contact of the spongy glaze. The crunchy texture broke into flour and butter fragments with each bite. He chewed slowly, making each bite melt in his mouth. His eyes were almost closed.
Near him, an old man watched the scene closely; he was wearing outlandish clothing, completely out of touch with any fashion sense of the last 90 years, at least. He looked like he was from another time and place. Although he said nothing, his gestures revealed a deep disgust.
"What a degrading and contemptible spectacle!" He thought. "This guy definitely represents everything that is wrong with the modern world. He degrades himself with sugar and fat, seeking a simple sensual satisfaction that numbs his mind."
"Oh, my God, how disgusting are those greasy fingers, and the bovine shine in his eyes, observe how obscenely he sucks the remains of the paper. In my day, this rudeness would surely land him in jail!"
A man with sunglasses approached the old man, friendly touching his back.
--- Relax, old-timer; I know what you're thinking. I've known you since you were a baby - he said mysteriously. - Once again indignant at the current world? I, on the other hand, find it very amusing, hahaha. You also have to know how to have fun every now and then, to satisfy the ordinary appetites of life. Eating a donut doesn't make you a lower being. We all have lower and higher parts; it's the mix that makes us human. It's the beauty of balance. Adapt, this is the modern world.
--- Balance? What balance can there be between the soul and the flesh, the eternal and the ephemeral? There can only be one hierarchy, where the superior reigns over the inferior. But with these vulgar visions of the 21st century my appetite has just been whetted. John, do you invite me to a lamb's foot broth?
--- Hahaha, you're crazy, Edgar! I know a very good place ...
Meanwhile, the donut eater was on his sixth delight.
