stupid lives

His favorite phrase is “What’s the plan?” We lost a friend of ours. If you had invited him to dinner, it was obvious that the plan was to eat, but he would have come home and asked what the plan was. Of course, no one answered him because there was nothing to answer. Now, the goddamn unanswered question hangs in the air.

-What is the plan?

What if he’s asking if there’s a plan behind the plan, I thought of the funeral home. In other words: if the plan had any meaning. Maybe his question wasn’t so pure. What was the plan behind this trip to Picos de Europa? What’s behind meeting each year on the band’s first death anniversary? If our friend had learned to speak in the womb, he would have looked at the world as his organs were forming and asked what the plan was. I imagine the medical team who came to the birth and the parents still listening to the newborn baby naked:

-What is the plan?

The plan was for her to go through breastfeeding and then start taking baby food and then go to daycare and then school. That he was young and young, studied law and made some objections to the Post Office, got married and had two children. He had disciplined the plan, but what was behind it? There was probably nothing left behind or a void that everyone was trying to fill as best they could. What if our friend was a secret sage? All this I asked myself in front of his coffin. They had dressed him in a dark suit, a white shirt, and a black tie, as if they were grieving for him. I thought it was hard to find the right clothes to shroud a corpse. I’ve seen a lot of people in my life and none of them were wearing sweatpants, not even Fede, who couldn’t take them off while sleeping.

After the funeral, the group of close friends met at the cemetery gate with the car keys in their hands. Then it occurred to me to ask what the plan was, and everyone started laughing. We went out to eat and had a good time remembering the best moments of our silly lives.
