Once Upon a Time Veronica Page #4

---

Death that suits well.

Come to me now

While

I am not paying attention.

This golden afternoon

That brings.

Joy to ordinary people.

Doesn't fool me anymore.

This afternoon that warms my belly

Beneath my black shirt.

And my belly button.

Wrapped in this warmth

Playing dead.

It feels nothing.

Just emptiness.

Dear Recorder...

there is something

I need to tell you.

I got fed up.

I got fed up of suffering.

I, Veronica...

trying to dream more about life.

It's going to take months to put

these records in alphabetical order.

Cranky.

Look, I have two bits of news.

One's good...

the other's bad.

Give me the bad news first,

I'm used to it.

I'm not going to marry Gustavo.

I told you to start

with the bad news.

If that's what's best foryou,

it's best for me too.

Sorry if I deceived you.

There's a time

for each type ofjoy.

Nowthe good news.

I've accepted an offerto work

at the private hospital.

As I'm going to be well paid,

I decided to give you a present.

I'm going to take a shower

and then we'll go out.

It's ours now.

Ours.

I, Veronica, patient of myself...

trying to think about life

in another way.

Thinking about life.

Life as it were a film.

Once upon a time...

a film that would start

deep inside my head...

and would reveal

a whole different world.

A world with a happy-ending.

My own kind of happy-ending.

Life falling over me.

Be welcome.

On this gentle afternoon

That pays no attention to me.

Death that suits well.

Come to me now.

While I am not paying attention.

This golden afternoon

That brings.

Joy to ordinary people.

Doesn't fool me anymore.

This afternoon that warms my belly.

Beneath my black shirt.

And my belly button.

Wrapped in this warmth

playing dead.

ONCE UPON TIME WAS I, VERNICA.

It feels nothing.

Just emptiness.
