Abstract

Mójese antes de usar is a posthumous novel by poet and friend Carlos Pachón. It narrates the wanderings and occurrences of a young writer in the city of Villavicencio in the 80s and 90s. With an urban and informal language, but full of poetic and literary images, Pachón reveals another face of the territory of the plains beyond the landscape, and puts in the center of the panorama a human being writer who seeks to survive the tedium of his daily life through his letters.

    I was born on a Sunday

    on Monday I was in mourning,
    with my guitar in my hand
    and on Tuesday to look for another one,
    because alone I don't love

    Beloved Sandra Sola:
    I am writing to you, because when I speak to you it seems that sometimes you
    sometimes you understand more than you should, or less than you should.
    -----------------------.
    And I just want that when, by chance,
    you think of me, I will be there;
    that when, by chance, you name me, I'll be there.
    That when, by chance, you hate me, I won't be there.
    --------------------, who calls you SS, or in extreme cases calls you SOS.
    extreme cases calls you SOS.
    PS: There is not a day without you.

    But he had the perfect plan to conquer her, to make her
    to make her whole life an appendix in fifteen days,
    a hernia of my life. So that she would begin to see that her
    friends were stupid and ordinary, so that her most constant thought would be death, to turn her
    her most constant thought would be death, to make her dependent
    dependent on my calls at night. So that she would not
    her town and her river, to make her believe that I was what she was looking for, to make her believe that I was what she was looking for.
    I was what she was looking for, to become that part of her that she was missing.
    of her that she was missing. To make her think that before
    me, she was wasting her time.
    To conquer her without the need to love her.
