Through the hole in the table where my face is buried, I can see the feet of the physiotherapist working on my shoulders. He walks barefoot and his toes move on the parquet with a strange autonomy: each to himself. I tell you:
– You hold your toes in your hands like a pianist.
-An application issue – it guarantees.
-My toes—I admit—fixed, stationary, as if for decoration. I wasn’t worried about them until last month when I hurt the one next to me while walking one of them. I went to a podiatrist who corrected me and taught me how to cut my nails.
We move from one subject to another as he runs his hands over my body. On other occasions we manage to channel the conversation but not today, today we are messy, what can you do? There are days when life does not flow. A little sore from the massage and a little frustrated with the conversation, I left his office and sat at the terrace bar for a drink. A man at the next table tells his girlfriend that he has had a vasectomy.
-Which? She says she is afraid.
– Vasectomy, I don’t want to have children.
His girlfriend harshly reproaches him for not consulting him on a decision of this magnitude.
“This is my body,” he justifies.
“There are areas on your body that we share,” she says.
The young man concludes, “The dog is dead, the rabies is gone.”
They bring me my gin and tonic. I take my first regular sip and anxiously wait for the alcohol to meet my neurons. Come, relax. I’m thinking about the conversation I had with the physical therapist about my feet, as well as the talk I just heard about the vasectomy. There would be no way to express them in a story. But I’m not in a story, I’m in life. I know because the vasectomy man is crying, I’m sorry.
“We’re going to adopt,” he says to his girlfriend.
“It’s not the same,” he replies.
My cell phone is ringing. Unknown number. I prefer not to take it.
