Tilting Your Lacrosse Helmet

Anonymous Constitution a year after the tsunami



- After all still believe in God?
The woman in charge of residential without tourists, small and bright eyes behind his glasses fashioned frame, responded with the look on my chin, that yes, God had not abandoned, but the rest had left. The rest, as specified sat drinking tea, and repeating the catch phrase, my child, for in the Constitution, men are treated by the village women and children, my children were tourists, the tourists have not returned your money but you understand that is well-fear-because everything is very fresh here, water reached the station, some feet below, in an area known as the beach-close, was tremendous. The residential was filled this morning. Nobody died, but it was terrible. The door came down and thankfully did not hurt anyone. We are now waiting to return.


- Still believing in Chile?
"The man toothless smile, something big, which sold 4 kilos of tomatoes per thousand dollars, all hard tomatoes and plump up, a little beyond the pine forests to the trash can next to the beach Trash of the Matte, the trash of the day, the wet paper by the wave, he said, without giving much back to the issue that the State Chile's worth putting mushroom because it came long and broad smiles from time to time, but people who were left homeless, as he remained in camps sharing bathrooms, multiple strictures and community life that have not sought and that meant sharing odors, shit, trouble and taken from ridge between people, because in that narrow, in that reduction, as people competed for the comfort or larger space, then for some it was more important to have a satellite television antenna eat or fight for the common good.
People are interested in TV.

- And you, madam, keep believing in people?
"People my child ceased to be people before the earthquake and not here, but everywhere throughout Chile, but here was a little and that people people people people ended up fooling around with the earthquake because you look like was the muddy, if you had to leave half armed with knives, or out in the early days. I do not understand this change, but must have some background my child, is because people greed that is the other and in a situation like the earthquake and tsunami, greed was at hand and as in the animal kingdom everything refers to power, won the strongest until the cops arrived, the strongest, because my child to the besieged city like war and a lot of thing what happened here has not been said, but had taken on this ridge on the other.
The woman had returned from 10 thousand dollars for the complete and drink, so I changed in the business below, a mini market where there were three slots and all it has a mini.

- Do you believe in luck?
"Do not ask me such man answered the thick eyebrows, a taxi driver, which basically meant I did not ask stupid questions, stupid, Birdbrain and that shit was wondering about that, as here, after the earthquake and tsunami had all unlucky and for this I bet, you know, I bet little or nothing, looking to forget, but if I win a little more bread and buy the rest bet, but bet would be bored watching TV, sitting in the square and thinking about the tsunami, my relatives who was taken by the sea on the island (Dorris), was a cousin and two nieces, daughters of cousin who was like my brother and that's life just one day it's up to you and one for me, and this fichitas to put it another way, one day and another day is not Do you understand me ?.

And you, do you think these people will recover?
-In the eyes of his mother, who watched the recorder as a sacrifice, the young, less than 20 years, hat with embroidered letters in China and some full so fat, because you can not think of another thing when the blocks are three businesses that sell complete and fries, did not respond because he felt intimidated or nervous, more nervous, and his mother, who watched the tape recorder as a host, responded with a sharp little tone, musical, which many neighbors had leased or sold houses by simple cowardice, and that those houses now out cheaply and if one-to my-I wanted to buy some property in the Constitution at this time should not doubt for any reason it could be bought cheaper as ever, especially when an earthquake occurs every 100 years and people forget quickly and if not thought out to the beach, to see how they bathed and enjoyed Constitution of the gray sea.

- Do not you fear the sea?
-A mother who was bathing with her daughter, 7 years on the shores of the beach next to the monstrous rocks, those with forms of Gothic chapels, those with forms of mammoth, looked at me and then walked a few yards with his son , who had to stop playing with the gray sand after my impertinence.
After this, I chose to observe.
