I want to thank Luca Argel for translating

several of my poems into Portuguese. The latest:


UMA DECISÃO MORAL

Um homem encontrou-se naquela posição familiar de estar apaixonado por duas mulheres ao mesmo tempo. Ele estava casado com apenas uma delas e tomou a decisão moral de permanecer fiel à sua esposa. Ele também se condicionou a nunca pensar na segunda mulher, seja de forma erótica ou de qualquer outra forma. Ocasionalmente, porém, quando ele ficava um pouco bêbado, ou quando estava cansado demais, ele pensava que a solução ideal seria que a sua esposa sofresse uma morte rápida e violenta, para que ele pudesse consumar seu amor pela segunda mulher dentro de um contexto matrimonial, e sem que isso seja imoral em nenhum aspecto.

A Moral Decision

A man found himself in the familiar position of being in love with two women at the same time. He was married to only one of them and made the moral decision to remain faithful to his wife. He also trained himself to never think about the second woman, in an erotic way or otherwise. Occasionally, however, when he was slightly drunk or overly tired, he would think that the ideal solution would be for his wife to die a quick, violent death, so that he could consummate his love for the second woman within the context of matrimony, without being immoral in any way.
