While watching movies,
I often wonder if the animals shown on screen are still alive.
They are probably all dead.
The donkey, sanctified by a white shroud after baptism,
The dog lying beside its master in the puddle,
circling back to that 120 minutes,
Yet they seem to be eternally dormant.
Sad children and sad insects,
Sad veins and sad cats,
some have died,
Some (probably) are still alive. Among these,
nothing is stagnant, And nothing is pulsating.
