Crossing the Equator


I was sharing a bath with Hildegart Rodriguez Carballeira

She was the most intelligent girl in Spain

We will be crossing the equator in three hours

What shall we do?

The usual I will chase you and the other crew members around the boat with shaving foam and we will fight with olive oil

And after?

We will all jump into the sea naked

But what about the brandy?

It is the only alcohol we have left on board

And yes we will offer the sea a share of our brandy

Do you know what I am going to do?

Tell me

I am going to steal a famous painting from an art gallery

You will not be able to sell it

I do not intend to sell it

I will erase whatsoever is captured on the canvas

Why?

And then I shall ask the so-called experts whether the work can still be considered art

Or is it not art as I am a nobody

Have I just been destructive or am I a greater artist than the master

You have lost me

If I was Goya and I erased a Titian would the act be considered art because I am equally as famous

Is it a creative act?

That is the question
