letra de an oddly lovely day alone - john updike
the kids went off to school
the wife to the hairdresser
or so she says, in boston—
“he takes forever. bye.”
i read a book, doing my job
around eleven, the rat man came—
our man from pest control
though our rats have long since died
he wears his hair rat-style—
cut short, brushed back—and told me
his minister had written a book
and “went on television with it.”
the proceeds, however, unlike mine
would be devoted, every cent
to a missionary church
in yucatan
time went by silently. for lunch
i warmed up last night’s pizza
and added my plate to the dishwasher
and soap, and punched full cycle
a book, a box of raisins
and bed. the phone rang once
a woman whose grant had not come through
no fault of mine
“that’s all right,” i told her
“just yesterday
i failed to win
the national book critics’ circle prize.”
the book was good. the bed was warm
each hour seemed a rubber band
the preoccupied fingers of god
were stretching at his desk
a thump, not a dishwasher thump
the afternoon paper: it said
an earthquake had struck iran
mere minutes after the shah had left
the moral seemed clear
more time passed, darkening
all suddenly unbeknownst
the afternoon had begun to snow—
to darken, darken and snow:
a fantastic effect, widespread
if people don’t entertain you
nature will
