'How did I come into this', he told himself in thoughts, munching on a buttered ham sandwich, matter-of-factly, with the air of a man who has seen it all and came to accept the vicissitudes of life, still somewhat grudgingly. Suddenly, unaware that his moody rethoric question would turn out to be an adumbration of his forthcoming brewing imagination,this lama guy materializes close to him, floating saintly above the floor, all rugose leathery skin, all the bearings of sanctity, and all Eastasian insular smugness that comes with those ruddy chaps.

Imagine a pale apparition standing fixed under a canopy of vacuous blue brightness, the scorching sun baking the termite mounds of steel and concrete rising from earth flattened and wiped clean of bucolic charms and the morass of Italy's wartime ruins. This moribund backdrop of a hyperrealistic nightmare sinks slowly away, a statuesque silhouette drifts by, blond manes flown, her steps in tune with the whispering breeze of a sullen afternoon.
