[Well, where are you coming from?]
Well, I don't like the way the country's ran,
don't you know, and um,that's pretty much
what i was expressing in my poem.
The government, the American government,
they're sneaky, they're very deceitful,
they're liars, they're cheats, they're ripoffs.
I mean, the American government is one
systematic government that, that nobody
can trust. I don't trust them myself.
[And how long have you been writing for?]
Huh?
[How long have you been writing for?]
Since I was four.
[Do you do this sort of thing a lot,
Like, open mic kinda questions?]
Oh I love open mics, I love coming
here doing open mics, absolutely.
[What kind of reactions do you usually get?]
Usually, people are, are pretty much
in agreement with what I'm saying.
[We overheard you before talking about
You went to court today for a speeding ticket?]
That's accurate.
[Right. Do you wanna tell us that story?]
Yes, absolutely, I wouldn't mind telling you the story.
Um, I went to court today for a speeding ticket,
and I told the judge, um,
"Let me tell you something, and you listen
and you listen good. I'm only gonna say this
one time and one time only.
I don't repeat
myself for nobody," I said.
I says,
"I'm here to pay a speeding ticket, not to listen
to your lectures and hear you run your mouth
for an hour." I says,
"I'm here to pay off my speeding ticket, and I'm
here to get my fines out of the way and get the
fuck to work."
The judge says, "You can't talk like
that in my courtroom, you're in
contempt of court."
Then I said, I told the judge,
"If that's the best you can do, I feel sorry for you."
I said, "Why don't you just shut your fucking
mouth for once and listen."
I said, "I'm not gonna take any shit."
I said, "I'm gonna pay my speeding ticket like I said."
I walked up to the goddamn bench and I
handed him my 25 dollars and
I says, "Here's my money, now I am leaving."
And I left it at that...
Then before I left, I turned around
and told the judge,
"I'm here to
state who I am and be honest with you."
I said "If they thought I was dangerous
on the road like you're trying to
accuse me of, wouldn't they have
taken my license when I first got it?
Yes they would."
And the judge says "Yeah, you have a point,"
He goes, "You don't need to get loud.
I said, "Don't get loud?"
I says, "I've got every right
to get loud." I says, "You
can't do a goddamn thing
about it, because I'm expressing
myself in your court, and
there is nothing you can do
about it.
You think you're god because
you have a robe and you can
put people up the goddamn
river for 20 years? Well you're not."
And I left it at that...
[Did you walk away?]
Yes I did. I don't like the judicial system,
I don't like the government system,
I don't like the police, I don't like anything to do with this country's government.
I just don't like it,
because, they're sneaky, like I said, they're deceitful, they're lying,
they're cheats, they rip the people off. That's the American government for you. America is a third world country, and people don't recognise it, and i think
that that's pretty goddamn sad that
they don't recognise their own country
as a third world, third rate, third class slum.
Que bom deve ser ouvir isto, de caipirinha na mão, num final de tarde em Botafogo.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kind of long
I could've said it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it, to someone
Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
çause I've promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it, to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather
And I find a place inside to laugh,
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel ...
Like I owe it, to someone, yeah

Chegou à nossa caixa de correio um elogio profundo por parte da Angelika Buch, aluna da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisboa. Aluna que faz parte, aliás, da "Tutoria" da mesma.
Para quem não sabe - era o meu caso - a Tutoria é, e passo a citar, "um sistema institucionalizado de apoio aos mesmos para além das aulas teóricas e práticas. Uma terceira via, que teve início no último ano lectivo para colmatar algum insucesso provocado pelo acrescido volume de matérias causado pela entrada em vigor do Proceso de Bolonha. Muito resumidamente os alunos dos anos mais avançados (10 alunos) auxiliam os mais novos, dando-lhes dicas de como fazer jus às exigências das Cadeiras. Em casos especiais os alunos são amparados por alguns docentes. Assim sendo, a Tutoria é um auxílio no que toca os estudos e uma rede de contactos entre estudantes e docentes. A Tutoria é coordenada pelo Senhor Professor Eduardo Vera-Cruz Pinto". O esclarecimento é da Angelika Buch.
Como registei no email de resposta, feedback tão entusiasta e elogioso como o que nos chegou da Angelika Buch, é um extra fundamental para o nosso trabalho e criação futura. Especialmente vindo de pessoas ligadas ao Direito e à universidade de Lisboa.
É bom pensar que o nosso trabalho é acompanhado "além-portas"!
Por isso, uma vez mais, em nome do Jornal Tribuna, o nossa agradecimento.
Para terminar, notar que o TRIBUNA foi mencionado em dois blogs afectos à Tutoria:
