En Montevideo hay poetas, poetas, poetas
Que si bombos ni trmpetas, trmpetas, trompetas
Van saliendo de recónditos altillos, altillos, Altillos
De paredes de silencios, de redonda con puntillo
Salen de agujeros mal tapados, tapados, tapados
Y proyectos no alcanzados, cansados, cansados
Que regresan fantasmas de colores, colores, colores
A pintarte las ojeras y pedirte que no llores
Tienen ilusiones compartidas, partidas, partidas
Pesadillas adheridas, heridas, heridas
Cañerias de palabras confundidas, fundidas, fundidas
A su triste paso lento por las calles y avenidas
No pretenden glorias ni laureles, laureles, laureles
Sólo pasan a papeles, papeles
Experiencias totalmente personales, zonales, zonales
Elementos muy parciales que juntados no son tales
Hablan de la aurora hasta, cansarse, cansarse
Si tener miedo a plagiarse, plagiarse, plagiarse
Nada de eso importa ya mientras escriban, escriban, Escriban
Su mania su locura su neurosis obsesiva
Andan por las calles los poetas, poetas, poetas
Como si fueran cometas, cometas, cometas
En un denso cielo de metal fundido, fundido, fundido
Impenetrable, desastroso, lamentable y aburrido
En Montevideo hay biromes, biromes, biromes
Desangradas en renglones, renglones, renglones
De palabras retorciéndose confusas, confusas, confusas
En delgadas servilletas, como alchólicas reclusas
Andan por las calles escribiendo, y viendo y viendo
Lo que vem lo van diciendo y siendo y siendo
Ellos poetas a la vez que se pasean, pasean, pasean
Van contando lo que vem y lo que no, lo fantesean
Miran para el cielo los poetas, poetas, poetas
Como si fueran saetas, saetas, saetas
Arrojadas al espacio que un rodeo, rodeo, rodeo
Hiciera regresar para clavarlas en Montevideo
