Oliverio Girondo #03 - Wait

Another poem from Girondo's collection, Persuasion of the Days, here we find a sort of ode to procrastination. The presence of a somewhat physiological vocabulary calls to our attention & directs us toward the concrete. 

The length syntactical phrasing is characteristic of Girondo in Persuasion..., where he manages to create lists of clauses that serve the same syntactic function. In the aesthetic, this contributes to the overall sense of boredom; a boredom that severs the speaker from his future projects, reveals his past to him as obligation and leaves him in the present. But, this suspension is temporary, which is why the wait is "insaciable".
