00:00I was born in 1954, and I've been living here since I was a child.
00:05I thought I was talking to the devil,
00:08so they locked me up for 40 years in a asylum.
00:12I'm writing this letter to you because I don't know how to speak.
00:16Forgive my elementary spelling,
00:19and I'm surprised if I still feel an emotion,
00:23but it's the fault of the hand that doesn't stop shaking.
00:28I'm like a piano with a broken key,
00:31the dissonant chord of a drunken orchestra.
00:36The days and nights look alike,
00:39in the dim light of the opaque windows.
00:43I'm still doing it underneath because I'm afraid.
00:46In the society of the healthy,
00:48we've always been a mess,
00:50a puddle of mud and sawdust.
00:53This is a mental illness,
00:55and it doesn't exist yet.
00:58The madmen are questions without sentences,
01:01thousands of astronauts who don't return to the base.
01:05They're crazy people who want to sunbathe in the sun.
01:08The madmen are apostles,
01:10more a god who doesn't want them.
01:13They make me with the cold blows of a spirologist.
01:16My pathology is that I'm left alone.
01:20Now take a telescope,
01:22measure the distances,
01:24and look between you and me,
01:26who is more dangerous.
01:28Inside the pavilions we loved each other secretly,
01:31recalling an angle that was only ours.
01:34I remember the few moments in which we felt alive,
01:37not like the clinical folders written in the archives.
01:41My memory will be the last to fade.
01:44You're like an angel tied to a thermosphere.
01:48Despite everything, I'm still waiting for you,
01:51and if I close my eyes, I feel your hand touching me.
01:55My name is Antonia, and I'm on the roof.
01:59Dear Margarita, I've been waiting for you for twenty years.
02:03The madmen are us when no one understands us,
02:06when even your best friend betrays you.
02:09I leave you this letter.
02:11Now I have to go.
02:13Forgive the elementary calligraphy,
02:17and you're surprised that I still feel an emotion.
02:20Surprise yourself again,
02:22because Antonia knows how to fly.
