Street checkers

"I worked all my life. I reached halfway of it and the "books" dictated I should pass into a status somebody one day had the idea of naming “retiring”. I had no time. Today I have the whole time of the world. But formerly I was healthy and now I live in a constant complain. Yesterday I sweat buckets for some miserable pennies, today not a penny I have to sweat; they took them all away in the name of the “crisis”, that invented crisis which was only good to give me the time one day I wished and to take my life and my profit away from me. Wandering along the narrow causeway where a long time ago I played, I came across somebody who still lives in the dream of having time to have time, as if the life was a checkers game that despite of winning or loosing can always be restarted. As life can. Life restarts in any instant. But it would not be me anymore. I look to my ocasional friends' checkers game and I twitch my lips as if the life was that for a brief moment: a checkers game in a street lost in the World labyrinth that I can restart anytime despite of loosing or winning.
