Barbi Superstar
She had tiny feet
and green-marihuana eyes.
With fourteen old, she was school queen,
the same year I was held back.
The female neighbors of the eighth-right floor said
“another one who turned out badly”
when, at Crónicas Marcianas (1),
they saw her performing a striptease.
In her Porcelanosa's (2) dreams ,
she seduced Al Pacino.
Us, Rayo’s (3) supporters, we was poor little things
to her majesty.
If the Mariquita Pérez's (4) little girl
would have got a good sponsor,
the producers, who know to women,
would give her a role.
Strawberry nipple, candy tongue,
bromide hearth,
super vedette, luxury whore,
model, soap opera star.
She had a future into the hungry eyes
of mature men.
Falling in love a little more than she should,
this was a bad investment.
She debuted as so-and-so
at a vile melodrama.
She retired her mom
by her twenty minutes of fame.
The scripts required her
more and more bed scenes.
Still, in Vallecas (5), people call her
“Barbi Superstar”.
The night before the wedding night,
she trew in the towel.
The groom, wearing a outmoded tailcoat,
becomes widowed in front of altar.
Meanwhile, Barbi levitated over
a beach pimp’s Harley, who,
between tarot, Corto Maltés (6) and Bob Marley,
proposed her aborting.
To hell you go through shortcuts,
syringes, recipes.
Yesterday, looking like rubbish,
she said me into the john of a bar:
“Where is the song that
you made for me when you were a poet?”
It ended so sad that I never could starting it.
Because of those lips,
that tasted like filthy lodgings stew,
I would have killed, me,
who never die because of love yet.
Into the pool halls, it was in the air:
Rayo had gone down.
Horse of disappointment
slides on M-30 (7).
She debuted as so-and-so
at a vile melodrama.
She retired her mom
by her twenty minutes of fame.
In Vallecas, no one calls her yet
“Barbi Superstar”.
