How Long After A Flea Bite Does It Itch

For a better love (Roque Dalton)

No one disputes that sex is a category
in the world of the couple:
hence the tenderness and wild branches.

No one disputes that sex is a category
familiar
hence the children, common

nights and days divided
(he, looking for bread in the street,
in offices or factories;
her in the rear of the housework,
in strategy and tactics of the kitchen
that to survive in the common struggle even to the end
of the month).

No one disputes that sex is an economic category
:
enough to mention prostitution,
fashion,
sections of newspapers that are only for her
or only for him.

Where is the trouble began after a woman says
that sex is a political category. Because


when a woman says that sex is a political category
can begin to stop being a woman in another
to become a woman for himself, establishing the woman
in
woman from his humanity and not
sex
know that the magic deodorant
lemon-flavored soap and voluptuously caressing your skin
are manufactured by the same company that makes the

Napalm,
know that the work
own home are the tasks associated with the class social belonging

that home,
that sexual difference
shines much better in the deep night
love when you know all those secrets that kept us
masked and others.
