La cuestión se reduce a estar vivo un instante,
aunque sea un instante no más,
a estar vivo
justo en ese minuto
cuando nos escapamos
al mejor de los mundos imposibles.
En donde nada importa,
nada absolutamente –ni siquiera
las grandes esperanzas que están puestas
todas sobre nosotros, todas,
y así pesan.Jaime Gil de Biedma
Compañeros de viaje, 1959 (frag.)
Recogido en “Las personas del verbo”
