Arsénico (II)

Tía Mariela se murió en la bañadera. El cuerpo, frágil y desnudo fue encontrado por una vecina que tenía llaves del departamento, caído y con el agua aún corriendo por la loza blanca de la tina. Aunque varios sospechamos que su corazón de 87 años era el responsable del deceso, luego se comprobó que el culpable fue un jabón Lux con aroma a “jazmines del bosque profundo” que se interpuso entre la planta de su pie y el blanco traful. El resbalón derivó en un golpe fenomenal contra la canilla del medio, que mandó a Tía Mariela a tocar el arpa.



En realidad, Tía Mariela no era tía de todos. Le decíamos así, pero el único pariente real era Maraveli. La vieja tenía una casa enorme, con unas 5 habitaciones al pedo, que había sido sitio de interminables tardes de juegos cuando niños y fumadero, madriguera de licores y hasta especie de bulo cuando entramos en la adolescencia. Incluso cada tanto nos volvíamos a juntar allí, montando célebres noches de poker, playstation y largas caladas de un home grown que conseguía Oliva. Confieso que uno de los divertimentos más grandes era burlarnos descaradamente de Tía Mariela y sus historias, algo laberínticas producto de un cerebro senil. Maraveli vivía con ella desde hacía varios años.


Pero ahora la vieja estaba en un cajón y nosotros (su nierto, Oliva, yo y algunos deudos más) alrededor del cuerpo, dando el último adiós. Maraveli le tocaba la mano. El olor penetrante de las coronas me enervaba. Codeé a Oliva con disimulo y salimos hacia una ante sala donde el personal de la cochería servía café y masitas de coco. En un sillón, tres viejas de unos 90 años hablaban de lo rápido que pasa la vida. La puerta se abrió de golpe.


–¿Qué hacén, putos?–murmuró el gordo Arsenio, un sándwich en la mano y tres claveles rojos en la otra.


Arsenio se acercó hasta el cajón y abrazó a Maraveli, al tiempo que metía las flores un jarroncito. Si bien a Maraveli el gordo le caía ciertamente como el culo, valoró el gesto y aceptó el abrazo. Al rato, los cuatro estábamos sentados en los sillones que habían dejado las viejas. El gordo comía el sándwich de matambre como si no hubiera un mañana.


– Es que no cené–ilustró Arsenio con la boca llena.

– No parece– retrucó Oliva, como para distender. Maraveli hizo una mueca que no llegó a sonrisa.

– Qué loca es la vida, ¿no?–intentó filosofar Arsenio, pero ante mi gesto imperativo le lanzó otra mordida al sándwich. Una mota de mayonesa le manchó la campera.

– Muchachos, gracias por venir– musitó Maraveli. Hacía fuerza para no llorar. –La verdad que fue un accidente ridículo, no se puede creer como un día te vas y está todo bien y cuando volvés se fue todo a la mierda– siguió.

– Como le pasó al Mono Navarro Montoya– soltó el gordo.

No empecés, pelotudo– fustigó con razón Oliva– no estamos para joder.

– Bueno, bueno, quería distender.


Se hizo un silencio. El gordo manoteó una masita de coco.


–Fue cuando lo de halcones y palomas– agregó. Oliva ya le prestaba atención.

– Parece que al Mono lo pescó la cana con un trava y tuvo que pagar una cometa enorme para que no lo botonearan…

– Sos un boludo, Gordo, no respetás un carajo– casi le grité entre dientes. Maraveli estaba indignado. A esa altura Arsenio ya se había convertido en “Arsénico” y nada le importaba más que terminar su historia.


– ¿Y la pelea del plantel de dónde surge? – se interesó Oliva, a esa altura ya bien metido en la historia.

–No te apurés– corrigió Arsénico–La cosa se fue al carajo cuando el Mono les mangueó guita a Márcico, Manteca Martínez y varios más para pagar la cometa y nunca se las devolvió. Y ahí se pudrió todo.

– ¡Sos un chamuyero de mierda! – estalló Oliva en una carcajada.

La sala entera clavó sus ojos sobre Oliva, indignados ante el grito inoportuno.

– Perdónenlo–dijo el Gordo con tono solemne– A veces le cuesta ubicarse. Ya nos vamos.

Lo tomó del brazo y lo sacó de la sala, como un maestro poniendo en penitencia a un alumno. Maraveli me miraba, incrédulo.


– ¿Ves por qué te digo que es un hijo de puta?

Albertina dijo...

jajajajajaja Este txt es buenísimo. El funeral encajó perfecto con los cuentos del gordo Arsenico. Y mucho más si pienso que podría ser el paisaje natural de gordo cuando cuenta el morbo como nadie.
Ahora que me acuerdo, siempre me enteré de cosas interesantes en los velorios.

Juan dijo...

lo de arsenico da para un libro fontanarrosico. pensalo al menos. ahora que el negro no escribe mas, necesito de ese tipo de literatura.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I decided to find a good vendor of electronic cigarettes. I'm done with paying so much for normal cigarettes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers supreme Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a variety of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?

Real Madrid had opportunities in the first half to set the score 2-0, but the players were unable to score. Kaka, Ronaldo, and Higuain were all close but were unable to complete. The closest was the play made by Higuain at minute 25, when he skipped by the defense and passed Lloris to make an incredible shot – but the ball crashed into the near post, denying the Spanish team a second goal. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid football club[/url] In the match against Zaragoza, Real Madrid dominated the game from the first minute, coming close to scoring at minute 2 when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a clear option after goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez cleared the shot from the Portuguese. Minutes later, the Whites kept control of the ball while Real Zaragoza was trying to close the spaces and the opportunities for the Meringues in their area.

"We played well; things are going well for me and for Real Madrid. Barcelona are doing well at the moment and not dropping points but we just have to continue winning our games," stated Kaká. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]cristiano ronaldo[/url] The team gave a great performance on Tuesday, playing an offensive game and demonstrating why Barcelona and its players are considered the best in Europe. Barca opened the score only 20 minutes after the game began with the newly acquired Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibra had another opportunity to score after a pass from Messi but the ball crashed against the post.

That's the reason you have to consider all of the accessible information. You never really know what can occur should you ignore certain details, criteria and other factors. You will have the ability to make the best decisions when you are confident you have all you need to know. What follows next are a few matters about this topic that you will want to know so you can pick the best alternatives.

The relative complexities of men's and women's style

Both men and women could have the pressures of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in season, yet men's style usually seems a lot simpler. Of course, for both genders, costumes and fashion options could be quite as intricate, and there are numerous'cool'things that could quickly become fashion faux pas - who are able to say they often see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's fashion has a few choice things that will exist eternally - which man is going to look out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Choose traditional pieces, colors and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is timeless

The basic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous types for different occasions, but they are all popular in their search for a clever, sharp search for the wearer. The best part about traditional style for men is that it's simply elegant effortlessly neat. A well-groomed man can more often than not appear his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and it is a testament to the design of such clothing. A suit will be used to work in several jobs due to the professional look it provides to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a suit will be worn to several social situations, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This incredible versatility that enables matches to be used in nearly all functions is what gives it its classic edge and a lasting devote men's fashion.

Modern movements in classic men's fashion

Whilst common men's styles will never be changed, it is interesting to remember that changes in men's fashion trends have brought particular common clothes back in fashion. The recognition of vintage clothing, especially, has had back a wide-variety of basic models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet expensive way, placing value on appearance and acting in a sophisticated approach. This tendency for nearly'over-the-top'common fashion for men is evident from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in obviously Victorian-style outfit and take to the streets on vintage cycles - with most of the men sporting impeccable mustaches! This is just one of several types of evidence displaying the resurrection of such variations. Additionally, there are numerous sites on the web which give attention to gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on giving articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst certain facets of traditional men's fashion may be cut back as new movements, the fundamental garments that they are based on will never fall out of fashion.
