Il mestiere del capitano

Una notte orfana di stelle. Da prua, l’isola è un polipo nero che si aggrappa alla coperta dell’oscurità con la rabbia feroce di chi ha freddo da sempre. Io cammino sul ponte della nave, perché questo è il mio ruolo, il sonno un lusso che non posso permettermi, la veglia una compagna che ho imparato ad amare. L’acqua sotto le fiancate della nave si increspa al passaggio del corpo possente del mio nemico. Aguglie e pesci pilota si insinuano tra la spuma e mi guardano con occhi aguzzi, capocchie di spillo che si chiudono quando ramazzano fondali impensabili. Io odio l’acqua. E l’acqua odia me. Un sorso di rum per lavare via la stanchezza e sangue a fiumi per pulire la tolda. Questo io chiedo, all’oste che dirige il bar dell’inferno. E questo ricevo, mescolato a ghigni feroci della ciurma e a sospiri di donne che ho strappato al calore delle loro case. Contesse bambine, matrone imbellettate, donnacce e donnine. Il mio cuore è la loro prigione. E da lì non si scappa, perché la vendetta ha messo sbarre troppo solide al tugurio angusto che mi batte nel petto. Capitan Uncino, mi chiamano. E quello è il mio nome, da sempre e per sempre. Perché un nome tanto fiero è una strada dritta di solide pietre, impossibile non percorrerla tutta. Una brezza gentile mi porta all’orecchio il rumore che temo e aspetto come un’estrema unzione. La mia pelle organizza una babele di brividi, la schiena si arcua, in bocca arriva la bassa marea. Tic tac... tic tac... Peter Pan è niente, al confronto. La sua spada piccola e veloce potrebbe entrare tra le mie costole e mettere un punto al noioso monologo dell’esistenza. In un attimo, o dopo pochi istanti di feroce agonia. Ma almeno arriverebbe il riposo, l’agognata scampagnata verso lidi sconosciuti e immensi, verso mari immoti e gole inesplorate. E invece niente. Si protrae la condanna. Tic tac... tic tac... Il coccodrillo ha ingoiato la sveglia, goffo metronomo di una favola stupida. Il coccodrillo ha ingoiato la mia mano. E gli è piaciuta. Mi segue come un boia che ha perso la rotta del patibolo ma non le tracce del condannato a morte. Mi segue come il domani, che quando arriva si trasforma nell’inutile breviario che gli uomini chiamano oggi. E domani è ancora di là da venire. Scendo le scale e vado sotto coperta, silenzioso come un pensiero inespresso. Spugna dorme, perché è un’anima semplice, un figurante alcolico nella farsa della mia vita. Russa e sospira, impossibile seguire il ritmo del suo aritmico incubo, fatto di sirene e di indiani, di orfani implacabili e di fatine volanti. È la cosa più vicina a un amico che abbia mai avuto. E questo pensiero non mi fa stare bene. Prendo le mie pistole, cariche e lucidate, e torno sul ponte. Per calare in acqua la scialuppa impiego un tempo infinito. Provatevi voi, con una mano sola! Poi salgo sul piccolo legno, un guscio di noce che balla sulla musica delle correnti. Il coccodrillo si avvicina e mi guarda. Non è intelligente, l’ho già detto, ma in qualche modo capisce che è la resa dei conti. O lui o io, oppure entrambi. Mentre apre la bocca, io prendo la mira. Tic tac... tic tac... Il suo fiato è osceno. Niente del genere dovrebbe esistere, se un qualche dio avesse a cuore il destino di questo suo povero figlio mutilato. Niente del genere dovrebbe insozzare il sudario di questa notte senza stelle. Poi chiude la bocca, senza rumore di zanne. Se ne va, accompagnato dal ticchettio che ho imparato a sincronizzare con i battiti del mio cuore. E io non gli sparo. Adesso so qual è il mestiere del capitano. Sopravvivere alla meglio, nonostante tutto. Perché c’è una ciurma di balordi da portare a caccia di nuovi tesori e all’inseguimento di nuovi fantasmi. E questo, dovete darmene atto, io lo so fare bene. Esce la luna dal sipario delle nubi, in attesa di un applauso che non c’è.

I called them up first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Shipping was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Very much worth it...

Suggestions on How to meet Women for the Local mall

Seem for any young lady sitting down alone, or even two women sitting together. When you've your meal in hand, walk more than to in which she or they are sitting and find out if you can actually join them. If you're honest and straightforward with them, your chances are pretty high-quality.

2- Do some contemplating. Ahead of you even give thought to proceeding into the shopping mall to satisfy a girl, sit oneself down and do some really serious considering. Regard how you may encounter a young lady and what you might say to her if you should be successful. Take into account which parts of this local mall you'd probably stop by. Also, you're going to have to purchase one thing even though there, what do you will need? At last, look at what meeting a chick in the public site entails. Certainly you can expect to be required to start looking to get a wedding ring ahead of speaking to some girl, and you can expect to ought to look into if it's wiser to speak to a young girl alone or just one who's with others.
