In Cuba there is a verb, “inflate”
that people use it
playfully and playfully
for something very unique.
“lying” plus “exaggerating”.
is the accurate description.
And in this exact way
no margin for error
the “inflators” were born
and the “inflater” has emerged.
Everything is inflated, exaggerated.
The figures, the contents,
senseless projects
(Pinocchio imports wood).
The Kingdom of the Infladera!
The living against the fools.
There are more ropes than carob trees
and more hanged than ropes.
They put on caps and gowns
in the science of blowing up balloons.
He inflates. I inflate You inflate.
They inflate… what a way
if there were balloons, what an inflator:
cantinfleo without Cantinflas.
And then if you deflate
“It’s your fault, sir.”
Become an entrepreneur.
Put —oh, moral anorexia!—
a balloon twisting course
in Mipyme “The Inflator”.
They inflate if they are going to buy.
They inflate if they are going to sell.
They inflate to “solve”.
Inflate because you have to “invent”.
Watchword: “inflate”.
And there is tremendous confusion
because our population
is half confused
two similar words:
“Inflation” and “inflation”.
Finally, between the verb “inflate”
and the noun “inflator”
inflation is “the worst”,
the unpopular “inflater”.
if you think
touring the entire Cuba
anyone puts you here
a “balloon” of this size.
And what hurts us the most?
Inflation or inflation?
I’ve been pensive for days
parsing this tangle:
What am I most afraid of?
in the country where I live?
The inflater for no reason?
The inflation that lacerates us?
Here everything is exaggerated.
The figures smack of deception.
And what hurts us the most?
Inflation or inflation?
I tried to do a poll
among the close people
but no one wants
such an annoying question.
Inflation sucks, indigestible.
The inflater is a bad deed.
Inflation is itchy.
The inflator is pure deception
But what does more damage?
Inflation or inflation?
The price of everything inflated.
The “balloons” galore.
Life, inflated too.
Hell in the market.
Everyone worried.
Lies inside and outside.
Hollows in each wallet.
All weird. All strange.
And what hurts us the most?
Inflation or inflation?
Anyway, I leave the matter there.
That is not easy to answer.
(I couldn’t do it
and that’s why I ask).
I think. I reason. Guess.
I question in my own way.
I leave here, for anyone
Top question of the year:
In the end, what does more damage?
Inflation or inflation?
