Con mi blanca palidez

Me vi al espejo en el ascensor. Si bien es cierto uqe la luz verduzca de tubo fluorescente no favorece, noté los estragos de tres días de cama. Blanca blanca blanca, como si mi semana en brasil nunca hubiera pasado. pälida, como casi muerta, con cara de cansancio, ojeras bien marcadas. Y me acordé de la Lennox:


"A Whiter Shade Of Pale"

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
The crowd called out for more
And the room was hummin' harder
As the ceiling flew away
And when we called outfor another drink
But the waiter brought a tray

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.

You said: "There is no reason,
And the truth is plain to see."
But I wander through my playin' cards
Would not let him be
One of the sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed

And so it was later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
A whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale
A whiter shade of pale
