A cena é única. Diferentes são os olhares de quem a vê

 

Inverno em Belo Horizonte. O mês é julho. Terça-feira à tarde, hora em que o sol já se afastou da piscina não aquecida do prédio. Moro aqui há quatro meses e, embora o pessoal da manutenção de piscinas venha diariamente, percebo que a água já baixou quatro azulejos.

Estou varrendo a varanda e vejo o zelador, um senhor idoso (provavelmente, o especialista) e um rapaz sem camisa dentro da piscina, com a água chegando próximo ao seu peito, em frente aos azulejos. Sinto por ele, pelo seu trabalho: a água fria, o tempo frio e nenhuma toalha por perto.

Na manhã seguinte, desço para buscar o jornal na portaria. Antes de me aproximar, ouço, ao retornar para o meu apartamento, uma moradora conversando com o porteiro, apenas as seguintes frases: “mas por que ele estava lá dentro? Precisava?” E, rapidamente, o porteiro tenta justificar, mas foi interrompido: “as últimas chuvas…” E a mulher emenda: “Absurdo! Eu não entro mais lá.”

Deixei para buscar o jornal depois.

Fiquei chocada e, para encerrar, lembrei-me de que o funcionário é negro.

  1. When I initially left a comment I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Many thanks!

  2. May I just say what a comfort to discover somebody who genuinely knows what they are discussing on the web. You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

  5. Hi, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!|

  6. Iím amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog thatís equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I found this in my search for something concerning this.

  7. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who has been conducting a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner due to the fact that I discovered it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to discuss this issue here on your website.

  8. Right here is the perfect website for anybody who wants to find out about this topic. You understand so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I actually will need toÖHaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject which has been written about for decades. Great stuff, just great!
