El simpático cinismo en tiempos de crisis

Toti, el artesano, se encuentra con tres personas en las vías del tren e intenta venderles su producto. Pero la coyuntura no lo permitirá.

Estoy, como suele decirse, “reventado”. Más seco que una pasa de uva en Algarrobo del Águila. Más corto que la patada de un chancho de Darío Hernández en Jacinto Arauz. Como dijo Calamari al tocarse el bolsillo mientras hacía la campaña a gobernador por el Frente Renovador en 2015: “Me dejaron más pelado que una banana”. Bueno, yo estoy igual. Con la contabilidad reducida, la billetera abreviada, y encaro las oxidadas puertas del nuevo año con la certeza que, igualmente, esto es un lujo, que el flagelante látigo del ajuste aún no golpeó.

¡Pero a no victimizarse! Por lo menos de este lado, que no se pasa hambre. Porque se quiso un cambio y el cambio nos atornilló. Como cuando uno tiene problemas con el novio, la novia, se aburre y pega el portazo. Es totalmente válido. Pero transcurre un semestre, dos semestres, tres semestres, cuatro… y no se moja la medialuna. ¡Y todos queremos mojar la medialuna! Todos queremos goce. No mañana, hoy; el verdadero “aquí y ahora”. En el fondo, no es mucho lo que pedimos, solo un poco de goce; y algo de orden. Orden y Goce, debería ser la bandera a levantar por Sergio Ziliotto, en esta nueva gestión. 

“Encaro las oxidadas puertas del nuevo año con la certeza que, igualmente, esto es un lujo, que el flagelante látigo del ajuste aún no golpeó”.

En todo caso, vivimos en La Pampa, provincia desquiciadamente prudente, de una cautela alocada, insurrecta, trastornada. De modo que cualquier tornado, al ingresar por los silenciosos montes pampeanos, se vuelve viento, y el viento del ajuste llega en forma de brisa. Es así. Para bien o para mal. Tanto en los vientos de cola (crecimiento) como en los trenes de frente (caída). La sentimos de refilón. Es la virtud del moderado y el pecado del austero. En simultáneo.

“Orden y Goce”

No obstante, se transpira la camiseta, se siente el rigor de las cuentas. Como se sabe, la mitad de los niños son pobres, y el 35% de la sociedad en general. Acá, por primera vez, se empezaron a ver sistemáticos asentamientos. Se desbordan comedores. Se va al colegio por la copa de leche. Se huye masivamente de las prepagas. Se percibe cierta euforia por la semilla, según el Inta, repartieron centenares de miles para la huerta, y no precisamente por una “conciencia ecologista”. 

Están también los que se quieren salvar. Conmovedor estado del alma, que sirve más como combustible para el empuje diario que como una meta verdaderamente alcanzable. Está Estela, del barrio 5000, eternamente quinielera y ahora “más que nunca”. Portadora de una fé ciega, camina de la cama al living y del living a la quiniela, en busca de un golpe de suerte.

También están los optimistas, es decir, los futuros desilusionados. La emotiva creencia de que por un cambio de gobierno se vuelve a una panacea que, en realidad, nunca jamás existió. 

En todo caso, vivimos en La Pampa, provincia desquiciadamente prudente, de una cautela alocada, insurrecta, trastornada”.

Y está Toti, el artesano de 50 años, barba siete días que, un cálido día de esta semana, se acercó a tres personas que consumían mate y cerveza, sentadas frente a las vías. “Hola, soy Toti. Qué linda combinación, mate y cerveza; acá les dejo las pulseri…”, dijo Toti y desenfundó su macramé. Pero uno de los ociosos rápidamente pasó a detallarle el por qué de la combinación del mate y la cerveza, en una historia de 15 minutos que incluyó momentos del fin de semana, la crisis habitacional de uno de los presentes, la oferta de un quiosco y la muerte de un emprendimiento de delivery de birra que nació quebrado. 

“¿Y vos Toti, de dónde sos?”, se le preguntó cuando ya no hubo más tela que cortar. Toti pasó a contar que es de Bragado, pero vivió mucho tiempo en Santa Rosa, “lindo Santa Rosa, la gente”. Contó que “ésta madrugada me voy a terminar trámites a Bragado y luego a Córdoba, a Santa Rosa de Calamuchita, con mi señora, hace mucho tiempo no la veo, es tiempo de asentar cabeza, ustedes me entienden”, y no lo dijo pero puso cara de que transita por el anochecer de una vida agitada. 

Se el consultó a Toti por sus inicios en la artesanía y sobre el arte de este oficio. Contó que era albañil, que siempre fue bueno con las manos (tiene grandes manos) y que “un día del 2005…” emprendió su viaje. Mencionó a cada uno de sus maestros, que lo formaron en esta disciplina ancestral, y dijo: “Requiere mucho esfuerzo, disciplina y trabajo. No (meneando la cabeza) ser bohemio no es para cualquiera”. 

Artesanía fabricada al instante por Toti

-¿Qué querés decir, Toti, que hay muchos artesanos truchos? ¿Los de acá, por ejemplo, de las vías, cómo son?

Toti, un verdadero caballero, no quiso hablar de sus colegas en particular, pero sí se refirió en general.

-No es lo de antes -empalagosamente nostálgico- el tema de la liberación de la economía y la entrada de productos, por ejemplo, chinos, que es otra forma de imperialismo -catedrático- sumado a la pereza y a la falta de resistencia frente a este fenómeno, generaron que esta profesión se venga abajo. Ahora te venden un gatito que mueve el brazo, y a los que verdaderamente hacemos el trabajo nos quedamos sin ventas.

También están los optimistas, es decir, los futuros desilusionados. La emotiva creencia de que por un cambio de gobierno se vuelve a una panacea que, en realidad, nunca jamás existió”.

Comentó, sin embargo, que en términos monetarios anda “bien, en comparación a otros”. Dijo que hoy, por el día soleado, vendió diez pulseritas de entre 100 y 50 pesos, que le alcanza, justamente, para pagar el pasaje de vuelta a sus pagos. Entonces deslizó: “Hasta luego, muchachos”, y se fue a sacar el pasaje que lo unirá con su amada mujer entre montañas y ríos de Córdoba, luego de largas y delirantes caminatas, ¿Acaso podrás, Toti, alma indomable y desesperada, aquietar tu espíritu en la monotonía de una casa frente al río? ¿Acaso podrás, Toti…

-Retuviste una hora al artesano y no le diste ni un mango, ni algo simbólico, le sacaste una hora de trabajo- soltó con malicia uno de los ociosos. 

-No seas frívolo. El verdadero artesano, como es Totti, prefiere una conversación amena, es decir, que uno le abra las puertas del corazón, a recibir un papel arrugado.

Porque en momentos de crisis, se desprenden dos caminos: la frustración o el cinismo, y por ahora, se prefiere optar por este último, más  simpático y saludable.
