Hola compañeros escritores!!! Este relato participa en la dinámica de escritura: Mensaje diario de 5 minutos de #freewrite por @latino.romano
El tema de hoy es: "no hay tiempo para eso".
No hay tiempo para eso / There's no time for that
Era un señor muy mayor cargando unas bolsas, se veía que no había calculado bien el peso y luchaba por no dejar caer su cargamento. Su mirada buscaba un alma caritativa que pudiese ayudarlo. El pobre apenas avanzaba, estaba a punto de rodar por el suelo.
Pensé en ayudarlo, frené un poco, pero el autobús que esperaba surgió girando por una esquina.
"No hay tiempo para eso," pensé, apurando el paso. El autobús se acercaba y no podía retrasarme. Eran diez minutos valiosos.
Estoy tecleando en la computadora de la oficina, y voy muy lento. La mirada del viejo vuelve cada vez, se refleja en la pantalla y me impide ir a mi ritmo. Voy retrasado en todas mis tareas. Hoy parece que el tiempo no alcanzara para nada.
El viejo cargando el peso de sus años. Me hubiese sentido bien llevándole un par de bolsas, acompañándolo un breve trecho de su camino. Despedirme con una palmada en sus gastados hombros.
"No hay tiempo para eso," pensé.
Soy un imbécil.
It was an elderly man carrying some bags, it was clear that he had not calculated the weight well and was struggling not to drop his load. His gaze searched for a charitable soul who could help him. The poor man could barely move forward and was about to fall to the ground.
I thought about helping him, slowed down a bit, but the bus I was waiting for turned the corner.
"There's no time for that," I thought, hastening my pace. The bus was approaching and I couldn't be delayed. Ten valuable minutes had passed.
I'm typing on the office computer, and I'm going very slowly. The old man's gaze keeps coming back, reflected on the screen, and it slows me down. I'm behind on all my tasks. Today it seems like there's not enough time for anything.
The old man carrying the weight of his years. I would have felt good carrying a couple of bags for him, accompanying him for a brief stretch of his journey. Saying goodbye with a pat on his worn shoulders.
"There's no time for that," I thought.
I'm an idiot.
