Seven Seconds
(Please remind me if I wrote this already or anything else, for that matter, I can no longer stand to read my own blog)
A famous (?) anthropologist, by the name of (I think) de Vore said that if two people are staring at each other's eyes for up to six seconds (that's quite enough, he believed) it can mean only two things:
1) Either they are getting ready to exterminate each other, they are ready to KILL, or
2) They are ready to make passionate love to each other, they are ready to FUCK.
Maria can no longer stand to look at me. Six seconds are eternity for her, when I am near by. She knows me, I know her. By now it's difficult to tell, I guess she may believe, wheather we'll fuck or kill each other.
But, I could take a long swim in the depths or her eyes for more than six seconds, and then give her a beautiful, relaxed smile. Because, no matter what I always forgive Maria. (That's where I go wrong, she DOES NOT WANT TO BE FORGIVEN!!!)
That's why I like that Youssou 'N Dour song, 7 Seconds. The guy is from Africa, he might have experienced himself the critical 6+ seconds.
Maria and myself, we are one & the same, that's the problem of it all, really.
