A talking book
I wish I had a talking book
That told me how to act and look
A talking book that contained keys
To past and present memories
A talking book that said your name
So if you were gone, you'd still remain
More than a picture on a shelf
In imagination I could touch
A talking, talking book
I wish I had a talking book
Filled with buttons you could push
Containing looks and sights, your touch
Your look your eyes, your sent your touch
Your feel, your breath, your sounds, your sighs
How much I'd live to ask it why
One must live and one must die
I wish I had a talking book
By my side so I could look
And touch and feel and dream a look
Much bigger than a talking book
A taste of loving's future and past
Is that so much to really ask?
In this one moment's time and space
Can our love really be replaced
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book?
Can our love ever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced
By a talking book?

A minha singela homenagem.
He went and took a walk on the wild side
*John Cale
da amizade
"Já que consiste em fazer com que o outro continue a ser uma espécie de mediação humana — algo como uma imagem transparente — daquilo que preenche em nós a mais profunda exigência. Porque "amizade" significa aqui o quase-único que supera as mais severas adversidades da vida: é um estar-se ali onde para ambos está o divino, compartilhando — para aprofundar — a solidão mútua, e tão profundamente que, no outro, cada um dos dois se compreende a si próprio como entregue a todo o devir humano."
Um Olhar para Trás, Lou Andreas-Salomé
