Lucy in Wonderland

I used to know this girl called Lucy.
She liked to think that the song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" had been written for her, that is was her song. But she never actually met any of the members of The Beatles.
Little did she know, the song was about LSD. To quote my good friend Morrisey, I'm guessing she never even knew what drugs were.
Most people go through life ignoring most of the things that are going on around them. And I don't mean ignoring as neglecting, they just don't understand anything. They refuse to learn so they create a parallel world with its own meanings and symbols, and just live according to that, putting aside the real value of their surroundings.
That's how we get to the situation of people like Lucy. I don't want to be like her. My guess is none of us do. But it's hard, isn't it? To find the time and the energy to get more involved in whatever it is that's happening next to us.
Open up the windows and turn off the TV. Talk to a neighbor, water some plants, go to the supermarket, buy a newspaper.
It's more than OK to create inside your own mind, and it's understandable if you do so to escape from your every day reality, but sometimes escaping means something more, means unhappiness, means pain, restricted thoughts, emotions we're not letting out.
Want to know what would happen if you tell Lucy the song wasn't about her? She would deny it, and then cry. And hate you, forever. Because she doesn't want to see the difference between her dreams and reality.
Do YOU?


Mademoiselle Juliettè,
Cuando nada te consuele yo voy a tener un verso listo para vos.
