There is any difference between art and rat? Lets make the example that a Rat could be the significant of art, when we were thinking about the form of how the art can have if it exists, will appear as a rat. Why a rat? Because is small, fast and mute. Passing some time inside the subway you will understand this headlined when the subway lights up you with some brilliant ideas because of these rodents that disturbs sometime your vision during your walking till the train. The subway is a market of many imaginaries. This underground world is occupied with people that are running fast such as the rats that are there where they don’t care about anyone for going to its own place, that black hole in the wall. It is exactly in this wall where these incredible people make art, this art street that makes noise everyday in all the stations that a city has showing up on the greatest musicians that you ever heard before or also some people that demonstrate themselves their talents in other kinds of arts like making faster drawings or writing several improvised contemporary poems. It´s about another neighborhood, some people read some books, others kiss each other or someone is listening loud music where you can join one of them being the fictitious character from the novel that the girl is reading and looking at you as the killer from the passage or being the spectator of some amazing kisses and learn how you must move your hands and legs when you are lost in pleasure or just being part of the rock music for having good time in your trip. It´s about fun, could be, but what about if there appear the phantom of the rails. Some say that this spectrum appears when you less expected, sometimes its appear talking over some group of rats for discussing some projects for the future. These animals are visionary, you must know that, they are everywhere and appear whenever they want where they don’t have any restriction and law that they must follow. It is also about freedom, going nowhere all the time like how the life is. That is how the art must be, not thinking in anything for creating this imaginaries by the sense of your aesthetic vision and strong feelings. Like the rat is, possibly. It goes from one side to another, looking for food most of the time. Their sounds are like a little scream of a bird. You get scared when you look at one of them because they appear in any moment and some of them are big where you can see their teeth or how long its mustache is. This is the animal from the underground, from the darkest place of the city. Moreover, these rats move in group most of the time or they are located in some specific place where they meet each other and talk about their experiences, for example how many thongs their saw when they passed through the legs from a beautiful girl and look over above their heads for knowing what’s going on behind the skirt, looking for the colors or figures that this underwear has. The fauna of a big city has rated in the first place these amazing rats, they are part of a normal and perfect city, if they don’t exist in a city, it is because is not it, just a big town with taller buildings and some long roads. Other pont for being considered is that these animals are not appreciated from some people because they are always dirty. Some kill them, others help them. It is a play of morality from the citizens to judge if they have to live or to die. Anyway, they will be there, like always they are, and they will make more from their species for growing their type till one time they will control the entire environment of the city. At the end, we will respect them, I respect them, but soon everybody will take care of these incredible animals. And ones again, these little creatures make you think when you are in the underground space to bring you new ideas that you can develop in the future. Long life to the rats.
