It’s been a long way since Earth was created from cosmic dust plus initial energy from the Big Bang left unleashed especially for us by an un-metaphorically cause that still remains undisclosed, un-theological, & humanly grasped. Despite there’s no consensus about such a spectacular phenomenon; body, mind & intelligence remain as lively fate-hunters of what make sense about us that I have to welcome you, Friend, to the Drama of Human Condition in search of the Artist’s Signature.

Amar es combatir, si dos se besan
el mundo cambia, encarnan los deseos,
el pensamiento encarna, brotan alas
en las espaldas del esclavo, el mundo
es real y tangible, el vino es vino,
el pan vuelve a saber, el agua es agua,
amar es combatir, es abrir puertas,
dejar de ser fantasma con un número
a perpetua cadena condenado
por un amo sin rostro;
el mundo cambia
si dos se miran y se reconocen (...)
fragmento de Piedra de sol, de Octavio Paz

Ω LA POESIA (Spanish original)
IRaza de Abel, tú come y duerme;
Dios te sonríe complaciente.Raza de Caín, en el fango
cae y muere míseramente.Raza de Abel, tu sacrificio
¡es aroma de serafín!Raza de Caín, tu suplicio
¿podrá tener un día su fin?Raza de Abel, mira tus siembras
y tus rebaños prosperar.Raza de Caín, oigo que el hambre
igual a un perro te hace aullar.Raza de Abel, patriarcalmente
conforta el vientre junto al lar.¡Raza de Caín, en tu negro antro
tiembla de frío, pobre chacal!¡Raza de Abel, ama y pulula!
También el oro sabe engendrar.Raza de Caín, corazón ardiente,
guárdate bien de desear.¡Raza de Abel, creces y engordas
como las chinches en la madera!Raza de Caín, por los caminos
¡se arrastra tu familia entera!II¡Raza de Abel, con tu carroña
has de abonar el suelo humeante!Raza de Caín, tus ajetreos
todavía no fueron bastante.Raza de Abel, he aquí tu oprobio:
el hierro al hierro gana la guerra.Raza de Caín, sube hasta el cielo
¡y arroja a Dios sobre la tierra!
De: Las flores del mal, 1857.
Traducción de Ángel Lázaro.
Abel et Caïn
I
Race d'Abel, dors, bois et mange;
Dieu te sourit complaisamment.Race de Caïn, dans la fange
Rampe et meurs misérablement.Race d'Abel, ton sacrifice
Flatte le nez du Séraphin!Race de Caïn, ton supplice
Aura-t-il jamais une fin?Race d'Abel, vois tes semailles
Et ton bétail venir à bien;Race de Caïn, tes entrailles
Hurlent la faim comme un vieux chien.Race d'Abel, chauffe ton ventre
À ton foyer patriarcal;Race de Caïn, dans ton antre
Tremble de froid, pauvre chacal!Race d'Abel, aime et pullule!
Ton or fait aussi des petits.Race de Caïn, coeur qui brûle,
Prends garde à ces grands appétits.Race d'Abel, tu croîs et broutes
Comme les punaises des bois!Race de Caïn, sur les routes
Traîne ta famille aux abois.II
Ah! race d'Abel, ta charogne
Engraissera le sol fumant!Race de Caïn, ta besogne
N'est pas faite suffisamment;Race d'Abel, voici ta honte:
Le fer est vaincu par l'épieu!Race de Caïn, au ciel monte,
Et sur la terre jette Dieu!— Charles Baudelaire
Cain and Abel
I
Race of Abel, sleep, eat and drink;
God smiles on you complacently.Race of Cain, crawl on your belly,
Die in the mire wretchedly.Race of Abel, your sacrifice
Delights the nose of the Seraphim!Race of Cain, will there ever be
An ending to your punishment?Race of Abel, see your sowing
And your cattle thrive and flourish;Race of Cain, your bowels
Howl with hunger like an old dog.Race of Abel, warm your belly
At your patriarchal hearth;Race of Cain, shiver with the cold
In your cavern, wretched jackal!Race of Abel, love, pullulate!
Even your gold has progeny.Race of Cain, with the burning heart,
Beware of those intense desires.Race of Abel, you browse and grow
Like the insects of the forest!Race of Cain, along the highways
Drag your destitute family.II
Ah! race of Abel, your carcass
Will fertilize the steaming soil!Race of Cain, your appointed task
Has not been adequately done;Race of Abel, your disgrace is:
The sword is conquered by the pike!Race of Cain, ascend to heaven,
And cast God down upon the earth!— William Aggeler, The Flowers of Evil (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)
Abel and Cain
I
Race of Abel! eat, sleep, drink.
God smiles on those that he prefers.
Race of Cain!in swamps that stink,
Crawl, and die the death of curs.
Race of Abel! your crops sprout,
And your flocks are safe and sound.
Race of Cain! your guts howl out
In hunger, like an ancient hound.
Race of Abel! warm your guts
At the patriarchal fire.
Race of Cain! in caves and huts
Shiver like jackals in the mire.
Race of Abel! Pullulate :
Your gold too procreates its kind.
Race of Cain! Hearts hot with hate,
Leave all such appetites behind.
Race of Abel! grow and graze,
Like woodlice that on timbers prey.
Race of Cain! along rough ways
Lead forth your family at bay.II
Ah! Race of Abel! your fat carrion
Will well manure the soil it presses.
Race of Cain! One task to carry on
Remains for you, a task that presses.
Race of Abel! Shame is nigh.
The coulter's beaten by the sword.
Race of Cain, climb up the sky,
And to the earth hurl down the Lord.— Roy Campbell, Poems of Baudelaire (New York: Pantheon Books, 1952)
Abel and Cain
I
Tribe of Abel, sleep, drink and eat, for God gives you his indulgent smile.
Tribe of Cain, crawl in the shit, die like a dog.
Tribe of Abel, how sweet your offerings smell in the nostrils of the Seraphim.
Tribe of Cain, will your agony never end?
Tribe of Abel, see how your seed prospers, how your cattle thrive.
Tribe of Cain, your guts howl with hunger like an old cur.
Tribe of Abel, warm your belly before the patriarch's hearth.
Tribe of Cain, tremble with cold in your hole in the ground, you miserable jackal.
Tribe of Abel, be amorous and increase: your gold also will multiply.
Tribe of Cain, however much your heart might burn with love, beware of all great desires.
Tribe of Abel, bloat and guzzle like woodlice.
Tribe of Cain, drag your hounded wife and children with you down the roads.II
Tribe of Abel, one day your carcass will manure the fetid soil.
— Francis Scarfe, Baudelaire: The Complete Verse (London: Anvil, 1986)
Tribe of Cain, your task is not yet done.
Tribe of Abel, your shame will come when the sword is shattered by the peasants' stake.
Tribe of Cain, ascend to heaven, and throw God down to earth.
12:01 PM was first adapted into an Academy Award-nominated [2] 1990 short film starring Kurtwood Smith. Directed by Jonathan Heap, it originally aired on the cable television network Showtime in 1990 as part of the Showtime 30-Minute Movie anthology series.
In this version, Kurtwood Smith plays Myron Castleman, an everyman-type who keeps repeating the same hour of his life, from 12:01pm to 1:00pm. The character is fully aware that the time loop is occurring, and nobody else appears to be aware of it. Each time the hour resets, Myron retains his memory (or as the film puts it, his consciousness), and despite his best attempts to understand what is happening, he ultimately realizes that he is entirely helpless to prevent the time bounce. Myron cannot even break the loop by killing himself, as he reappears, alive, at the next iteration; he is trapped in the loop for eternity.
This version has not been released on DVD or VHS in the United States, but 12:01 PM is available on DVD in the UK, collected with seven other short films.
