Happy normal, these strange beings,
those who do not have a crazy mother, a drunken father, a child offender,
a house anywhere, an unknown disease,
those who have not been burned by a devouring love,
who lived seventeen of smiling faces and a little more,
's full of shoes, hats archangels,
the satisfied , fat, cute,
the rintintín and his minions, which of course, here,
earners, those who are dear to the hilt,
mice accompanied by flute players,
sellers and buyers,
slightly superhuman knights,
the men dressed as women thunder and lightning,
the delicate, wise, fine,
the kind, candy, groceries and beverages. Happy
birds, manure, stones.
.
But give way those who do the worlds and dreams,
illusions, the symphonies, the words that tear us down
and rebuild us, crazier than their mothers, the most drunken
their parents and their children more criminals
and more consumed by scorching love.
