La Tele

“siempre es la misma historia,
que si vengo
que si voy
que si vienes
o te vas
pero nunca lo veo llegar a nada.....
y desistir de controlar…
la situacion tiende a mejorar

si me dejas ver la tele......

Puede ser que prediquemos
que todo lo que queremos
va pasar ..inclusive puede ser que entendiendo a los demas..
.es imposible dar mas vueltas alrededor...alrededor....
y cada vez se hace mas incierto
solo tal vez

si me dejas ver la tele..”

La Tele
