"We've reached this point in life
where your respect and my respect are just pieces in a board game.
Where the rock and its shadow
melt in the sun.
There's no learning that can transcend the dome.
I ride up the hill with the devil on horseback.
I prepare to shoot from the top,
with butterflies protecting me,
with the banner raised.
Red and yellow in equal measure.
Spicy in their sacks,
in their shirts,
in their eyes.
And so much green at the tips of their horns.
We're in this together,
ready to push aside the guard and attack head-on,
with poetry,
with rain,
and with blades of water"
