How to Draw a Perfect Circle Page #2

No, no.

It's something I wrote

a long time ago.

Seems like there's someone

who wants to publish it.

Very well...

What is it about?

They're short stories, erotic stories.

Can you read it to me?

I wrote this a long time ago in Paris.

Before I met your mother,

long before you and your sister were

born.

And what were you doing there?

A bit of everything.

Go to restaurants, to the theatre.

Can you read a bit?

It's late.

Please.

"In Paris it rains every morning

"Like blades, as if they rattled

five x-rays glued together.

"She trembles.

"The jazz music can't be heard here,

because we've climbed many stairs.

"'What floor are we on? '

"And there are doors.

A series of wooden doors.

"Wood and more wood.

"A study on sound.

"Wood, wood, stairs,

wood and more wood.

"'You'll die before you're father does',

I told her.

"And she spat on me afterwards.

"'Fair enough'... I told her.

Tomorrow she'll wait, again. "

It's not erotic.

No, not if you've been sleeping

since the beginning.

Even when I was awake,

there wasn't a single sex scene.

Guilherme?

These shoes were too tight for her.

We have to be comfortable,

even when we die.

Guilherme?

Will you play Tic-tac-toe with me?

It'll help you keep your mind off it.

Come on.

There you go.

You make perfect circles,

but you always loose.

Yes, yes, I've reflected on the article.

It's much better. Considerably better.

Are you ready?

"I heard of an insane asylum... "

"I heard of... "

Are you listening?

"I heard of an insane asylum where

lunatics are fed as if they were cattle. "

Full stop.

"I heard oft a boy who was shut

indoors for 30 years.

"Everyday," (comma)

"He leaves the house

"and waits for the bus in front of the

building he lives in. " (full stop)

"He stays there waiting for his mother

to pick him up... " (dot-dot-dot)

"But his mother doesn't come. " (stop)

"The first bus of the day arrives,"

(comma)

Making him anxious. (full stop)

"Some people get off

but not his mother. "(full stop)

"The same thing happens

with the second bus

and the third

and the fourth... (dot-dot-dot)

"The lunatic stays there,"(comma)

"At the bus stop, all day long". (period)

"He gets up on his toes when he hears

a bus arriving," (comma)

"Hoping it's the one," (comma)

"Hoping that this time she will arrive. "

"He knows the meal schedule,"

(comma) "and opens the door to eat. "

"They offer him rice," (comma)

"Meat and sometimes

they say something to him. "

"He goes outside," (comma) "crosses

the road and sits as still as a bird. "

"He's the bus stop bird.

"He keeps as still as a bird, next to the

sign where the bus number is written"

(comma) "number 60."(full stop)
