Guerra quase fria

He lay on a cot
He was drenched in a sweat
He was mute and staring
But feeling the thing
He had not

(...)

And she lay on her back
She made sure she was hid
She was mute and staring
Not feeling the thing
That she did


[Suzanne Vega, «Men in a War», álbum Days of Open Hand, 1990]
