Los raperos me llamaban «Abuelo».
Uno de ellos, al que llamaré «Nano», un chico bajito y delgado, con un deje macarra al hablar y voz endurecida por el tabaco, siempre andaba con algún porro escondido en la palma de la mano. A veces, coincidíamos en el parque de la Juventud, el lugar donde íbamos a parar punks, jevis, raperos y demás fauna.
