UNA FRASE
Todo ha terminado, dije.
¿Que te hace decir eso ?, preguntó mi hermana.
Porque si no ha terminado, pronto terminará
lo que viene a ser lo mismo.
Y si este es el caso,
no tiene sentido comenzar
ni siquiera una frase.
Pero no es lo mismo , respondió mi hermana ,

Pero no es lo mismo , respondió mi hermana ,
este terminar pronto.
Hay una pregunta que ha quedado en el tintero.
Es una pregunta estúpida, contesté yo.
A SENTENCE
Everything has ended, I said.
What makes you say so, my sister asked.
Because, I said, if it has not ended, it will end soon
which comes to the same thing. And if that is the case,
there is no point in beginning
so much as a sentence.
But it is not the same, my sister said, this ending soon.
There is a question left.
It is a foolish question, I answered.
