Reasonable Madness
A billion of leagues
and one pair of legs
Hundreds of smells
So many tastes
torrents of views
innumerable colours
and one nose
one mouth,
two eyes . . . barely.
Countless strangers,
endless loves,
only one sex
and one heart .
Great opportunities,
a few good things
but an infinity of bad
and just one chance,
a short and brief life.
