–B: Por favor, ¿me puede acompañar al baño?

Y sí. Lo ayudé a alzarse y lo fui guiando al cuarto de baño, un espacio clásico, inglés, dotado también de mingitorio vertical, dos gateras de mármol. Hasta allí lo acerco y lo embalso. El que ya conocía el lugar, tantea con el brazo izquierdo la pared, se apoya y luego con la derecha se va abriendo la bragueta con lentitud. Yo me separo un metro, atento a una posible caída y le digo algo así como

--Usted tranquilo Borges, estoy aquí cerca, tómese su tiempo.
(es la espontánea boludez que dicta la ocasión: la boludez cortés) Y él que va, y mientras sostiene lo suyo, me dice:

B: Dígame, Peicovich ¿Usted sabe algo de John Birch?

Y yo, seducido, tratando de no mostrar una grieta ante el máximo gurú, hago “la gran argentina”:

–Algo he visto por ahí, pero todavía no lo leí… Creo que es alguien que… ¿Qué escribió?

B: No, m’hijo. John Birch es como le dicen los ingleses a la pija. Y Lady Jane le dicen a la concha.

Mi carcajada se escuchó en Portugal.
