“نتكيّف خاضعينمكتفين بتعزيّات جزافيةكتلك التى تضعها الريحفى جيوب عميقة وواسعةلأنه لا يزال فى وسعنا أن نحب العالم، نحن الذين نجد قطا صغيرا على العتبة ونعرفكيف نحميه من قساوة الشارعفى فجوة دافئة مغطاة بالريش.سوف نسير جانبيا،وحتى البسمة المتكلفة الأخيرةنتحاشى حكم ذلك الإبهام المحتومالذى يدير نحونا ببطء سبّابته المجعدةمواجهين النظرة الشذراء الفاترة ببراءةوبالكثير من الدهشة!ومع ذلك، فتلك السقطات البارعة ليست أكاذيبأكثر مما هى استدارات أى خيزرانة مطواع،وليس مأتمنا، بصورةٍ ما، مشروعاً.فى وسعنا التملص منكم، ومن كل شىء آخر،لكن ليس من القلب:ما ذنبنا إذا بقى القلب حيّا؟تفرض اللعبة ابتسامات متكلفة، لكننا رأينا القمر يصنع فى المعابر المقفرة كأس ضحك مقدسةمن منفضة فارغةوعبر أصوات المرح والبحث جميعاسمعنا مواء قطٍ فى البرية””
