No caminho do meu ofício
No caminho do meu ofício
(Ana Maria Lopes)
No caminho do meu ofício
cruzei com um homem sem sono
Carregava sonhos nos bolsos de seus jeans
e a camisa aberta no peito
desafiava outros caminhantes
que não lhe entendiam o olhar manso
manso de lago
Seus cabelos ventavam ilusões
que eram espalhadas nos quatro cantos
Ia o homem e seu sonho
por aquela estrada
que ele dividia e partilhava com o mundo
Suas pegadas faziam crescer as flores
e seu suor pingente criava o arco-íris
Era um homem imenso
sobrava no mundo, ele sim
Seus braços como um polvo
abraçava multidões
Seu sorriso escancarava
a vitrine de sua forma interna
Só nos cruzamos
e, olhos nos olhos,
lampejamos risos da alma
Senti que vinha para ficar
não para parar em caixas de morar
para ficar, isso sim
dentro de mim.
Mostrou-me as coisas da vida
fez-me sentir que haviam feridas
que nunca iriam cicatrizar
Cantou lindas cantigas
umas novas, outras antigas
batucou alguns acordes
e fez muita desordem
dentro de meu corpo solitário
Depois de mostrado o mundo
o homem e seu sonho
continuou o rastreio
em busca do que queria
Atônita, embevecida,
vi o homem e seu sonho passar
de forma estranha, sensata, discreta.
E só algum tempo depois,
muito depois,
soube que havia amado um poeta.

Be Good To Yourself
You know what you want and need.
Put yourself first.
You can't be anything for anybody else unless you take care of yourself.
Let your feelings be known.
They are important.
Express your opinions.
It's good to hear yourself talk.
Value your thinking.
You do it well.
Take the time and space you need.
Even if other people are wanting something from you.
When you need something, don't talk yourself out of it.
Even if you can't have it, it's ok to need.
When you are scared, let someone know.
Isolating yourself when you're scared makes it worse.
When you feel like running away, let yourself feel the scare.
Think about what you fear will happen and decide what you need to do.
When you're angry, let yourself feel the anger.
Decide what you want to do. Just feel it, express it, or take some action.
When you're sad, think about what would be comforting.
When you're hurt, tell the person who hurt you.
Keeping it inside makes it grow.
When you have work to do and you don't want to do it,
Decide what really needs to be done and what can wait.
When you want something from someone else, ask.
You'll be okay if they say no.
Asking is being true to you.
When you need help, ask.
Trust people to say no if they don't want to give.
When people turn you down,
It usually has to do with them, and not with you
Put yourself first.

When people turn you down,
It usually has to do with them, and not with you
Ask someone else for what you need.
When you feel alone, know there are people who want to be with you.
Fantasize what it would be like to be with each of them.
Decide if you want to make that happen.
When you feel anxious, let yourself know that in your head.
You've moved into the future to something scary
And your body has gotten up the energy for it.
Come back to the present.
When you want to say something loving to someone, go ahead.
Expressing your feeling is not a commitment.
When someone yells at you, physically support yourself
By relaxing into your chair or putting your feet firmly on the floor.
Remember to breathe.
Think about the message they are trying to get across to you.
When you're harassing yourself, stop.
You do it when you need something.
Figure out what you need and get it.
When everything seems wrong ,
You are overwhelmed and need some comforting.
Ask for it.
Afterwards, you can think about what you need to do.
When you want to talk to someone new and are scared, breathe.
Don't start rehearsing, just plunge in.
If it doesn't go well, you can stop.
If you're doing something you don't like to do,
(such as smoking or overeating), Stop.
Think about what you really want.
If you're stuck and can't think clearly, talk out loud to someone.
When you can't think straight,
Stop thinking. Feel.
When you're in need of love, reach out.
There are people who love you.
When you're confused, it's usually because you think you should Do one thing and you want to do another.
Dialogue with yourself or present both sides to a friend.
When you feel harried, slow down.
Deliberately slow your breathing, your speech, and your movements.
When everything seems gray, look for color.
If one of these rules seems wrong for you, talk about it with someone.
Then, rewrite it so it fits you.

PARÓDIA
Pronominais
Dê-me um cigarro
Diz a gramática
Do professor e do aluno
E do mulato sabido
Mas o bom negro e o bom branco
Da Nação Brasileira
Dizem todos os dias
Deixa disso camarada
Me dá um cigarro.
Escapulário
No Pão de Açúcar
De Cada Dia
Dai-nos Senhor
A Poesia
De Cada Dia.
PARÓDIA
MODERNISMO
Os modernistas realizam, em todas as artes, uma aproximação crítica das obras do passado. No universo literário, a releitura de textos famosos das escolas anteriores torna-se uma forma de rejeição ou de admiração. Com freqüência, os modernos terminar por reescrever alguns dos textos consagrados sob uma perspectiva de humor: é a paródia.
Um dos livros de crítica literária de Mário de Andrade chama-se A escrava que não é Isaura, numa evidente alusão ao romance de Bernardo Guimarães. Poucos poetas resistiram à chance de parodiar a antológica Canção do exílio, de Gonçalves Dias, conforme podemos verificar num conjunto de excertos, como o de Oswald de Andrade, Canto do regresso à pátria:
Minha terra tem palmares
Onde gorjeia o mar
Os passarinhos aqui
Não cantam como os de lá
Onde gorjeia o mar
Os passarinhos aqui
Não cantam como os de lá
Minha terra tem mais rosas
E quase que mais amores
Minha terra tem mais ouro
Minha terra tem mais terra (...)
E quase que mais amores
Minha terra tem mais ouro
Minha terra tem mais terra (...)
Não permita Deus que eu morra
Sem que eu volte para são Paulo
Sem que eu veja a rua 15
E o progresso de São Paulo
Sem que eu volte para são Paulo
Sem que eu veja a rua 15
E o progresso de São Paulo
Em Canção, Mário Quintana parece fazer um protesto ecológico:
Minha terra não tem palmeiras...
E em vez de um mero sabiá,
Cantam aves invisíveis
Nas palmeiras que não há.
E em vez de um mero sabiá,
Cantam aves invisíveis
Nas palmeiras que não há.
Carlos Drummond, mais filosófico, reflete sobre a distância da felicidade em Nova canção do exílio:
Um sabiá
na palmeira, longe.
Estas aves cantam
um outro canto. (...)
na palmeira, longe.
Estas aves cantam
um outro canto. (...)
Onde tudo é belo
e fantástico,
só, na noite,
seria feliz.
(Um sabiá,
na palmeira, longe.)
e fantástico,
só, na noite,
seria feliz.
(Um sabiá,
na palmeira, longe.)
Também Murilo Mendes mostra-se irreverente com o célebre poema romântico:
Minha terra tem macieiras da Califórnia
onde cantam gaturamos de Veneza. (...)
Eu morro sufocado em terra estrangeira.
Nossas flores são mais bonitas
nossas frutas são mais gostosas
mas custam cem mil réis a dúzia.
onde cantam gaturamos de Veneza. (...)
Eu morro sufocado em terra estrangeira.
Nossas flores são mais bonitas
nossas frutas são mais gostosas
mas custam cem mil réis a dúzia.
Ai quem me dera chupar uma carambola de verdade
e ouvir um sabiá com certidão de idade!
e ouvir um sabiá com certidão de idade!
É, no entanto, de Carlos Drummond uma das mais perfeitas paródias de toda a nossa literatura: Sentimental. Partindo de um conhecido poema de Fagundes Varela, onde o mesmo expressa, com muita propriedade e encanto, a aspiração do amor romântico à eternidade - traduzido na gravação do nome da amada num arbusto - o poeta mineiro vale-se, ao inverso, de letrinhas de sopa de macarrão para registrar o seu afeto. Com isso, não apenas satiriza as grandes paixões do Romantismo, como revela o caráter efêmero de todas as relações de nosso tempo.
Ponho-me a escrever teu nome
com letras de macarrão.
No prato, a sopa esfria, cheia de escamas
e debruçados na mesa todos contemplam
esse romântico trabalho.
com letras de macarrão.

Desgraçadamente falta uma letra
Uma letra somente
para acabar teu nome!
Uma letra somente
para acabar teu nome!
- Está sonhando? Olhe que a sopa esfria.
Eu estava sonhando...
E há em todas as consciências este cartaz amarelo:
"Neste país é proibido sonhar."
