Are we trigger happy? Russian roulette in the waiting room. Empty
chambers embracing the end, puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi
moon, dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes...
We reached the ignition point from the sparks of plasantries. Sensed the
smoke advancing from horizons - you must've know that I was considering
an escape...
