The poster girl wore around his neck read: "No bother, please, I'm reading." I was reading a book Murakami. Tokyo Blues. I had read, what we had read more than two weeks. As I was on page 260, just when the father dies Midori, I figured more or less, for two trips of six stops per day, he still had one week to complete. I took over a month putting his hand on the subway, a little behind and diagonally to read every word that fell from his eyes and share. There were times I could hear in his mind the echo of the same word I just read and then, yes, a tiny moment I was happy. Before Murakami had read a tiny booklet on Camilleri Caravaggio, we only lasted two days, and before this we were both excited and to excite us with "The passenger of the century" , a such Neuman. I never read and I liked the beginning of knowing just watched. Every day I put a different lineup for repair not much in the haggard face could not take her eyes off him. I loved to watch her dive into the book to take, feel your breath in time with what suddenly lived in it, with commas and periods that marked his thought, his pulse and every beat of my heart waiting for each of the minimal gestures that history replacing its history caused him, invisible to anyone, but recorded in my mind with a chisel, I also scratched the soul.
that day, between the third and fourth stop on page 272, when Hatsumi Watanabe question if the love of it is illegal, the girl suddenly closed the book on his two thumbs, turned and stayed for a long time looking at my poster. A convulsive tremor I bathed in sweat and panic. The girl read the poster, I also hear this sound with a very slow movement of his right hand raised his sunglasses and his eyes at me. Eyes were blue and green at the same time, looking cleaner than it had ever seen, with hundreds and thousands of letters floating in it, projecting each of the stories I had read that he had lived, in my desire to live them I with it. I smiled sweetly and froze for a moment his hand infinite his eyes and his soul so that I could read it, then stroked my sign and read it aloud: "I have no words." After that, he opened the book and continued reading. During
two days I did not dare get on the subway with her, so I missed much of what was left of Tokyo Blues . I just go to the store where she worked. There I hide behind the window and tried to follow with his eyes without her suspecting it. In the shop selling posters. Of all types and all kinds of legends. People came and went with a new sign with a new legend, around the neck. Each legend was a new life, or a different style for the wearer. Some were completely abstract: "Illusion", "I continually"; other incomprehensible: "God of the blue" "Tenet Opera Rotas Sator Arepo" and many, most were simple and repeated nominations: "postman", "Speaker" and even "Thinker." Every thing, or be thought to exist in this world was reflected in a legend. People constantly changing lineup and a legend in the hope of one day finding a life that will truly worthwhile, but still did not know of anyone who had found the appropriate legend. For my part, it made my own legends, but knew that only an approved cartel could take effect, but it was also true that in general had long I am not interested in anything my life or any life except that of the woman with the rare moments that I could live every day as I read over your shoulder.
the third day I could not resist any longer the lack of economic and returned to the subway to read with her the last third of the novel. I was on page 332, when Midori wearing dark sunglasses, as the girl with sunglasses that read it, and wearing a jersey color from wormwood (forever dreamed of seeing her dressed in that color) will not talk to Watanabe and I wondered if she would return to speak, to read with your desired dream slow the legend of my poster smiled at me with those lips that smiled marking the path of life I had wanted to live if he could write the words "give me peace when you look at me" but that day my poster reading "I have no more days" and she I turned and looked long and then looked at my sign and read your voice to sing lullabies to broken men, "I have more days" and stroked my cheek and smiled and said, "Do you want to have lunch in the River "and I took the sign and took off the sign and got off at the sixth stop and went to the river and there I sang a song that said "I do nothing but think of you" and wrote in their poster "I need you to hold me" and we hugged and were so all our lives for a minute or two and I think one of her tears came to my lips and then both laughed and she said I have not the sign that says "I love you" and kissed my lips and in the distance I saw his life, his daughter, and I was glad to be happy without signs and the sun was , Murakami went, and she turned and asked me not to come back, and I promised I would not read again after his shoulder anymore, not rise any more in the metro or go to look after crystals and wrote in my lineup a legend that said: "The echoes of your words were my voice" and ran to buy Tokyo Blues, paperback, and started writing in the recesses of your pages the life I would have liked to live with it.
