Papa Augusto, He waits, stands, hands behind His back like an old soldier, policeman; watching T.V. after breakfast (11:00 AM). The sun just come out, he pays it not attention, His mind is on the horses (caballos); it´s Sunday morning.

He, Papa Augusto is waiting for the time, the moment we’ll All go to the race track,— see the caballos (make his bet, perhaps win a treasure chest—of some dinero [$]. He has studied the horses all week, a long week, I expect. He even whistled on his way to breakfast (perchance it means: a big win).

Los Caballos (Hipódromo de Lima)

Papa Augusto, él espera, parado, manos detrás de su espalda Como un soldado viejo, policía; mirando la televisión después del desayuno (11:00 de la mañana). El sol acaba de salir, él no presta atención, Su mente está en los caballos; hoy es domingo por la mañana.

El, Papa Augusto está esperando por el tiempo, el momento en que todos Iremos al hipódromo, — ver a los caballos (hacer su apuesta, Talvez ganar un baúl de—algo de dinero [$]. El ha Estudiado a los caballos toda la semana, una semana larga, espero. El incluso Silva en su camino a tomar desayuno (talvez esto significa: Una grande ganancia).

Ahora, ahora él solo está parado, sus manos detrás de su espalda, Por el televisor— abruptamente se aleja, se aleja y va a su cuarto, Hasta la 1:00 de la tarde, a estudiar a los caballos de nuevo.

Nota: dedicado a Papá Augusto; y al caballo, Miss Saigon, quien ganó la carrera por mi hoy día, en el hipódromo de Lima. #897 16 de octubre del 2005.

Now, now he just stands, his hands behind his back by the T.V. —abruptly leaves, leaves and goes to his room, till 1:00 PM, to study the horse again.
