At 4:30 am the poet appeared. I had been mumbling verses, inventing new words to lack of knowing how to use the old terrors facing blank pages, devoting pages to the appalling black wastebasket filled with crumpled paper and my desk and my bed, alternating locations for my fruitless attempts to bear fruit. 4:30 am
appeared, flying through my window. I was not surprised. Instead, a feeling of elation came over me. The poet sat down on a chair I stood in a dark corner of my room. He sat down, without uttering a sound, but staring at me.
Suddenly, the words in my mind was freed. Flowing through my arm to my hand, struggling to be reflected in my papers. I took hasty a random amount of leaves and began to write. This time, real writing.
My hand moved as fast as my brain and built poems and prose I never thought I could devise. In four hours and debug wrote five poems and two stories, sublime.
"I must go - says the poet, saying his very first sentence.
"Wait," he said. I wrote so fast that I could not even think about or digest my work. You will read and then you go. Is it possible to grant me this favor?
"Yes," replied the poet.
I checked and read every one of my poems and stories. To my amazement, they were just trash, exquisite corpses made by one person, trivia and corny. Horrified, I turned my gaze to the poet, who did not flinch. Seemed to already know the outcome of everything.
I do not understand, "he said, pleading. You gave me inspiration, gives me the talent, creativity, inventiveness, originality. Is not that right? Is not it?
"Yes," replied, with a look quality but impassive.
- So? What does this bunch of words disposable? And is it a cruel joke?
The poet went to the window, ready to go. But before doing so spoke, and after doing so, I should just shut up:
-I am the poet said, and left.
Cronopio.
