A Toy Story

     What if you discover that all that time you have been a toy. An entertainment to others and a drama to yourself. A game in destructive hands, you get your time and then you are thrown away. The source of happiness and pride, but only temporarily till a new toy takes your place, till the novelty fades away, or maybe till the highlights of interest are focused on another possession, another fun activity, another subject of enjoyment and self-satisfaction.
     And you remain there, alone and neglected, till rust invades your gears and ageing wearies your motor. But still not in peace, for you still get used but this time to shatter you into pieces, to dismantle you, to get your precious inner carefully crafted metal and magnets, to leave you hollow, and then to throw you into the garbage.
     Such a tragic fate! Only because you accepted to be a toy. To fall into unsafe hands. To have no will. No value. No life...
Until you fall in the hands that really appreciate your existence. So they reconnect your abused parts, they gather your inner pieces, and they take good care of you. They fix you. And you become a toy no more, but the only reason for real joy and serene happiness. You become alive.

Entangled

   What are you thinking? What are you seeing? What are you doing? The vision is blurry, confused thoughts, tangled and entangled networks of incomprehensible ideas and feelings and concerns, a huge whole city, with a single inhabitant, surrounded by barbed thorny wires, no trespassing, in or out!
     You are the only real entity. You are the only sensible identity in an insensible existence. Time passes, but not necessarily you do the same. A face who needs a mask, encountering masks who need a face. Walking masks, insane masks, painted masks dropping their infectious ink on you, to deprive you of your ingenuity, to deprive you of your sanity.
     What are you thinking? Overload. What are you seeing? Illusion. What are you doing? Sometimes fighting, other times giving up, sometimes passing, other times failing, yet all the time getting hit, getting hurt, mask or no mask, real or imaginary, getting doubtful and critical, entangled, strangled, and then recovered, incognito, and salvaged, come la luce del sole...
