“Chispitas” in my mind
The other day I met a Japanese girl. But my concentration was modified by the apparition of something that I was looking at the bar, many small lights that appeared and disappeared fast around me.
We were at Fat Cat, like always I am. This place is an authentic New Yorker bar where you can hear real Jazz music with musicians who came with their instruments and improvise there like Jazz is. Also there are many kinds of games where you can enjoy such as pool, table tennis or chess. By the way, is the cheap beer the reason that this place is always crowded.
I remember when she started to kiss me while the musicians were performing at the stage. The colors of the bar turned in red and blue lights for making special the environment. With some papers in my hands for drawing these musicians, appeared these small lights around me. They were everywhere, even in the restroom when I saw them for the first time. When I was looking at me over the mirror, these lights were around the mirror shining for penetrating my eyes and creating special creatures in my mind. These inspirational things I called them “chispitas”. “Chispitas” such as a stick that is burning and is throwing fire around it.
These lights followed me all night. I couldn´t touch them, even tasted them or tried to identify what kind of thing was that because they disappeared quickly. I realized that I had to stay with them all night. When she was talking to me, I was just focused in these lights, they were talking to me, but without any sound or voice where I can understand them. However, I could know what they were saying to me, it was a kind of connection between them and me. They were moving so fast I remember where they were making drawings in the air such as a woman´s face, a drummer playing drums or the pin-pon ball going from one side to another, they created everything. I was there, with them, joining me in that world because I felt that I was part of them.
Then I awoke. I don´t know if that happened to me or was just a dream. I awoke sick in the morning from bed completely naked with open window, was 6 in the morning with music of Frank Sinatra coming from my computer. Anyway, when I kissed that girl, the lights appeared, I can´t forget that moment, that ephemeral moment that took me away from the bar for a while. I was like a bird.
