Divisa

Text 1:

Pss, pss, do you hear this?
Do you feel this invisible but existing division?
It’s a border, see?

You said cup!
No, I said cuc!
What, you said cuc?
Wait, cup?

Hey, I have residency…
…I’m living here, you know.
Yes, but my daughter, you’re yuma, you know. You’re from beyond
…beyond the boardwalk.

Okay, one for 24?
No, 25!
And the taxi to the stop; 1 cuc?
No, 10, good price, friend.
Expensive!
Expensive? You’re yuma…

Did you already order the soda?
The last one…
Last one for the route?

Hey, are you still listening?

This invisible division?

Text 2:

Two divided realities

Invisible division.

Invisible is the perception of a world that exchanges its value to survive the foreign reality of its people.

People who listen and watch the change pass by, as if it were only birds.

Confusion. Subtly shaping the experiences of here and there.

An imperceptible difference present in reality.

Status that makes the difference.

Nature.

Root of a world alien, yours and mine, from the same space.
