Song of the day

I was sitting in the bathroom and where the floor is bare in the photo now is a mattress, a mini mattress, the guest mattress, and on it was lying She, in hooded sweatshirt and pyjama pants.
The winter sun was coming weakly though the thick glass of the closed window, bathing her in heat, and she wiggled around, streching. She looked, in a word, gustosa. The whole situation did.

I started to sing the song of the day-

Pandinha no sol
Pandinha no sol
ela veio porque falaron
que en Brasil tem bamboo grande
mas agooooora
fais muuuuuito
frioooooo, agoooora,
quer voltar para China

Pandinha no sol

Ela ficou sem dinhero
e o que e pior ainda
e que uuuuuuurso
tem queeeee compraaaaar
duas pasagem
porque urso panda
tem bunda tão grande
que precisa duas vagas

Pandinha no sol
Pandinha no sol

(Little panda in the sun

She came because she heard
about the bamboo in Brazil
but now its suuuuuper
cooooold and sheeee wants
to go back to China

Little panda in the sun

She got no money left
and what makes matters worse
is that paaaaaandas
have to buy two tiiiickets
just for one panda
because pandas got big butts

little panda in the sun.

One time we were in a bar and the creative types around us started assigning animals to everyone based on looks, a practice I thoroughly endorse. Indeed, on the bus this morning I explored the possiblilities of writing a work of applied geometry to show exactly why one person looks like a horse, another a mouse. Anyway around that table, She recieved a few votes, I had thought, for panda. But now She, fresh from the shower and now sanding the dead skin off her feet, denies this.

She says it was cat, which we both agree is way off the mark. Especially since there are so many people walking around that every moment you see them you can only think cat, cat, cat and go crazy remembering that they are human, and perhaps can be trusted as much as any other, though certainly not, and even think that if you were to sleep with them they would bite you with tiny sharp teeth.

My vote for She is between panda and puppy.

Her vote for me is, unfortunately,
