“Un rato é unha cousa que se move, unha cousa que vive nos sobrados e ten un corazón pequerrechiño e dous ollos de vidro sempre acesos. Unha cousa que vai furando as tebras, xurde correndo, pasa, fuxe, líscase. Un rato é unha cousa que está viva un intre só, despois non é nada, sombra nas sombras mestas dos buratos. A noite é un burato sen orelas pra os homes, tristes ratos sin acougo. Un home é unha cousa que cavila, cismando sempre, sempre amargurado, fuxindo de outras cousas que rebulen, revolvendo papeis, decote rebulindo, sempre con presas, atafegado sempre, camiña, chouta, avanta nos buratos, nos sobrados do mundo, nas estradas da vida, nas pedras, no vento, nas rúas, nos seos das mulleres. Un rato é unha cousa que se move. Escóitame Walt Disney ¿Onde estabas que os meus soños de pombas non te viron cando o meu corazón inda era neno e había carabeles nos meus ollos?”

Your turn is over when you drop a monkey.’ Most of my childhood life at the house on Arce Subdivision had been like that, constantly linking monkeys together and anticipating something going wrong.”
