Amarroto

Te pasaste treinta abriles de una esquina a otra esquina
sin saber que era una mina, ni una copa, ni un café.
La yugabas como un burro y amurabas meneguina
practicando infanteria de tu casa hasta el taller.
Futbol, timbas y carreras eran cosas indecentes,
solo el cine era tu vicio... si podias garronear.
Y una vuelta que asomaste los mirones por Corrientes
al marearte con las luces te tuvieron que auxiliar.
Hijo de "Quedate quieto" y la zaina "No te muevas",
nunca, nunca te rascaste ni teniendo sarampion...
Flor de chaucha que en la esquina no ligaste ni una breva
porque andabas como un longhi chamuyandolo al boton.
No tenias ni un amigo, "que el buey solo bien se lame",
segun tu filosofia de amarroto sin control.
Y amasabas los billetes como quien hace un salame
laburando de esclavacho, como un gil, de sol a sol.
Hoy te veo engayolado... Te chapo una solterona
que podria ser tu nona y que es toda tu pasión...
Y seguis amarrocando para que ella, tu monona,
se las de de grand princesa a costillas del chabon.
En el banco de la vida al final siempre se pierde,
no hay mortaja con bolsillos a la hora de partir.
Vos que no sabes siquiera de un final "bandera verde",
aclarame, che amarroto... para que queres vivir?
