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. You’re so interesting! I don’t suppose I’ve truly read anything like this before. So good to discover somebody with original thoughts on this topic. Seriously.. many thanks for starting this up. This web site is something that’s needed on the internet, someone with a bit of originality!

  2. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it does not fail me as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, but I truly thought you would probably have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.

  3. Iím amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog thatís both equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I found this during my hunt for something concerning this.

  4. An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who was conducting a little homework on this. And he actually bought me dinner because I found it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending the time to talk about this matter here on your site.

  5. Hi there, There’s no doubt that your site could be having browser compatibility problems. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine however, if opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, fantastic site!

  6. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you ought to publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo matter but usually folks don’t speak about such topics. To the next! Many thanks!!

  7. This is the perfect blog for everyone who wants to find out about this topic. You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want toÖHaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject that has been discussed for many years. Great stuff, just excellent!
