Buying shoes is the same heroic act as buying a shirt or sweater, and the same as buying a kilo of bananas. Purchasing, in general, is a matter of titans. At least for me, I shop a lot because I don’t buy anything, so I go out many times. In other words, I arrive at the supermarket parking lot, turn off the engine, meditate for a few seconds, feel the panic rising from my chest to my brain, and flee back to the safe house. My wife asks me what about chicken, rice and leeks, and I tell her I’m decaf. Buying overwhelms me, I’m a disaster for capitalism. Sometimes I walk into the dressing room at El Corte Inglés and leave without trying anything.
-How was he? the officer asks.
“Okay,” I say, “but that’s not my color.”
I don’t know what my color is. In the middle of the gentlemen section, I would burst into tears for help. For God’s sake, someone tell me what to buy, give me an order! Take these panties, these stockings, and this leather jacket without fur. Thanks, they take everything from the card. I just learned to buy a newspaper. But I don’t know how to sell either. There was a time in my youth when I made a living selling encyclopedias. It’s an idiom that I make a living by selling just one, I got it myself. Here are twelve volumes, very old, because paper encyclopedias are no longer published. I’ve been paying for this for two years. I read a chapter a day to pay for it.
If there were many people like me, capitalism would collapse under its own weight, under the weight of the goods piling up on their tables, on their hangers, on their vacuumed shelves. It turns out that I need to replace the bedding and I don’t know how to do it or who to call or if they take the old one with all the mite colonies because all the beds in the world including Felipe VI. and Isabel Preysler’s Mites. I heard it from a man with a Turkish-like mustache on the subway. There is a joy in consumption that makes me feel excluded. My mom said about my dad that he was smart but didn’t know how to sell. To know how to buy, you have to know how to sell.
