     The Identity Card Number is definite.

 00789695

 

 

            A Spanish writer was invited to Guadalajara’s Book Fair in Mexico and had the opportunity to address a speech to the attendants of the Fair. He said this resolute and plain that Spanish young people were going to be a failure, that they did not have a future, stating a big deception on people listening to him. Of course, such an important event as the Fair and being such a known Spanish writer news transcended to the Spanish press and people got to know about what the writer had said. I uploaded on facebook a picture of the writer just during his speech in Guadalajara, and I said that what he said must be punished for his mean and cruel signification. He cannot be waiting no applause from anybody, not even from Australians whatever their age is, imagine Spanish young people and Spanish people whatever their age is too. So it was a waste for everyone, after all he sells a lot of books he gets payments for in advance. He may be thinking his status, his social position in life gives him the right to set on a side always in front of miserables. That is why I signed up my entry about this on facebook giving him my Identity Card Number so that he had not other but tell his lawyer to send me to trial because he could not allow anybody to tell him that openly they were enemies and the threatening of my saying I was a soldier in the Popular Front Army. And boasting of my Identity Card Number! Well, that happened some time ago and I have not been sent to trial so far, when it was so easy and objectionable. Reasons must he have.

            I was telling my friend Rafael Soria Vallejo what had happened and what I had done and of course about the threatening of leaving to him my Identity Card Number. Be careful with your entries on facebook, they sell information about you to Mafia, Pentagon and CIA, said Rafa to me. I know they did, I know they try to be doing it perpetually, I said. Your entries are a pressure on all the politicians always, you leave not a clown with head, he said friendly, not afraid of being my friend. I upload up pictures and texts with a clear vision of Wisdom, Revolution, an Ideal World, Harmony, Plenitude, I said. You go too far when telling things about politicians, Rafa said. Well, let me tell you I have even made an entry saying: Military Dome Execution! I did not bother to leave for them my Identity Card Number! Yes, I have seen it, that is the one by large that may cause you problems, besides for obvious reasons, he said. Although there is someone always that communicates very well and is hard on them capitalists, but nobody can face him, nobody cannot do anything against him, said Rafa. Later he said laughing: They have left him for impossible because he is a case, he has no solution. Then Rafa was attentive to what I was going to say. I know true it is all the sages are with me. Peoples have to be sage, be lead by Wisdom. The most essential consists of the beauty of deeds. The ceremony must start with the Catharsis of the poor, to be so close in reaching an esctasy of big joy after a long long time hankering to come out of misery, of poverty. So, I do order my delirium and a collective delirium of happiness among the peoples and let us start to carry out executions.

            I had ordered my delirium before, in a style very similar to rather Pablo Neruda’s than Miguel Ángel Asturias’s in both their book Eating in Hungary. These verses:

In my messy heart

Imposes, Oh, wine of Tokay, fragant,

The reason of the light;

I do order my delirium!

 

            And later:

Naked child of Earth,

Leave your root in my singing.

And in my mouth

Your celestial experience.

 

            One of the few books I would like to keep with me forever, although I may give it up as a present most delightedly in view that the same happened to the librarian who went up for some days to the Books-to-Take-Away shelf for me to catch the eye of this one and of another by Ricardo Güiraldes, and of… Anyway, I do take up on loan books from the Library too and for that I need a card, Library’s card, where you see how every each of a time it is different, even you have another user number, another card’s expiry date, sometimes the card is a new one because of someone’s humour or go to know why. Sometimes in the end you have to use your Identity Card Number. Many times, you can imagine in a cards’ society, I had been saying everywhere when asked my Identity Number, 00789695, starting always with the chant 007, which makes nearly everyone smile or ask: The superagent?

            Well, I do not know, the Spanish writer's waste of time, having been invited to address a speech to attendants in the Fair there and around the world, he must have panicked when I said I was a Popular Front Army soldier, and has got a wry face since he saw I was so clear and defiant. For you to see how hard he's got it I will tell you what happened when civil guards asked the members of the military dome what they will do after I uploaded an entry on the net saying MILITARY DOME EXECUTION! They said that the Civil Guard had to arrest me and send me to prison and later to trial. But the civil guards told the members of the military dome that no armed force would ever carry out an action against me. Well, everyone must admit it is a weighty reason not to try. So imagine how the Spanish writer must consider it not easy at all to do to me any harm. He knows what happened with the military dome. Guess what he is wating for.
