A vida toda pela frente

Ele tinha um código de barras
colado à nuca,
com preço, peso, calorias.

Era um exemplo de balanceamento equilibrado.

Mas já estava no limite
de seu prazo de validade.

Aos poucos, seu coração foi parando de bater,
depois o fígado,
os pulmões
e o aparelho urinário,
sem falar em sua digestão,
esquecida em um restaurante de quinta
há alguns meses.

Um dia, um caminhão parou
em frente à sua casa.
Nele, em letras grandiosas,
seu futuro previsível:
Troca e Reposição.

Calmamente,
desligou a tv e
enfiou uma faca em sua nuca,
serrilhando a pele,
para cima e para baixo,
devagar.

Puxou o último fio de massa sangrenta
sem um gemido
sequer.
Misturou carne, código e sangue,
à sopa de batatas que tentava engolir.
Pulou a janela
e respirou fundo.

gostei muito muito!

opinião: pegaria o ultimo verso e transformava em titulo, deixando o poema terminar em "e respirou fundo"

I searched everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.

I am crazy happy about it...

The firm delivers one [url=http://nhommuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]mua hang gia re[/url] for every single working day in each solitary of the markets it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance agreement using ThePoint's program: if a specified quantity of men and females indicator up for the offer you, then the provide becomes available to all if the predetermined bare bare minimum is not pleased, no one particular certain receives the deal that functioning day. This minimizes threat for suppliers, who can get treatment of the discount codes as amount low cost rates as correctly as merchandise sales marketing tools. Groupon can make funds by retaining close to fifty p.c the cash flow the client pays for the coupon.

For illustration, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be purchased by the client for $forty by means of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer presents a massage valued at $eighty and receives around $twenty from Groupon for it (below a fifty%/50% crack up). Or, if $240 really really worth of property portray companies is obtained by the purchaser for $50 by way of Groupon, then the group gets $twenty 5 and Groupon retains $20 five. The buyer gets the therapeutic massage, or the property portray service provider, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they at first compensated $forty (or $50) to Groupon. There are specific organizations to which Groupon initially did not offer its providers, these kinds of as capturing ranges and strip golf equipment however, having pictures ranges have been showcased on Groupon.

As opposed to categorised marketing, the support company does not shell out any upfront price to take portion: Groupon collects private data from inclined shoppers and then contacts only individuals consumers, mainly by daily e mail, who may possibly probably be fascinated in a distinct products or services.

Groupon employs a huge quantity of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains highlighted by email and on the site. Groupon's marketing and advertising textual articles for the 'deals' has been seen as a contributing issue to the recognition of the internet site, that consists of a unique merge of complete reality-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market location at present being mostly composed of lady buyers, the discounts are typically concentrated on the nicely getting, health and splendor marketplaces.

There are most likely difficulties with the business item. For instance, a effective supply could briefly swamp a little company with way too numerous customers, jeopardizing a opportunity that purchasers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be enough goods to fulfill the demand from customers. Gap, a substantial attire retailer, was completely ready to deal with 445,000 coupon codes in a nationwide provide (regardless of the reality that it seasoned server problems at one position), but a much more compact business could switch out to be abruptly flooded with buyers. A one espresso shop in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in consumers for 3 months, when it supplied near to 1,000 Groupons on the a single specific day it was provided, in accordance to 1 report. In response to relevant problems, Groupon officials condition that 'deal' subscriptions need to be capped in development to a sensible selection.
