In the spring, when it's warm enough to go for a walk on the trails where I live after it's rained, I find the trails have turned into beautiful, temporary little riverlets. I have to admit,... read more »

Someone very wise –it may even have been Homer Simpson – once said; ‘why bother going out? you’re going to end up back here anyway'.

di Slawka G. Scarso


L’arte di far finta di niente

va praticata con precisione.

Necessita di forbici minute

e lime tascabili per rifinire

il dettaglio che lascia trasparire
