We have the chance:

in French, we have two words

very beautiful, and, first, quite parallel:

light writing, it is photography,

and the writing of the Earth, we call the geography.

But tell me, how, so far, we wrote the Earth?

Drew on passages

or the borders defined?

We open paths,

or closed doors?

We wrote

the Earth as

a prison

Against the roads and railways, the gates and the walls were multiplied.

And travel and adventure and infinity is disapproval gradually within the borders.

How many wars has been raised by introducing these limits no truce and no end

that the principle of the ownership trace and moves according to the forces and powers?

Then

now

What is important

What is responsible

It is to rewrite the Earth

to write constantly to write endless

a thousand passages that laugh of the walls.

Follow the path of the underground. Out by all issues

Take the roads in all directions. Prefer shortcuts and stop

to prohibit

of the senses.

Take

freedom

wandering and

one of

federate.

All

pathways

will be

good.

Add a whole new meaning to the formula of democracy,

saying ‘a man, a track ‘. Each his way

and for all the meetings,

the thousand and one

passages.
