Messing with ghosts III

It was in Mexico, 1996, that artist Armando Alanis Pulido first started to paint black handwritten poetry fragments on white public walls, signing simply with the words acción poética. It was an advertisement for alphabetization, an invitation to read and a tribute to muralismo. The act became an inspiring citizens' movement, collectively responding to catastrophes of the city and of the soul. A gesture of civilization.

 The waiting amuses itself

in the postponing

of the gaze

- or does  it entertain itself

   in the shifting of  the glimpse?

  I’d say it's a matter of perspective -

No adiamento do vislumbre, a espera entretém-se a si mesma

ou

A espera diverte-se  no desvio do olhar

Shifting or stalling
