People wanted to escape the emptiness, so they built big cities and turned into gears, hammers, bags, and hats. ... The people of the cities wanted to return to nature... when their bones were broken... so they filled their balconies with flowers and pergolas... and raised cats and dogs in their homes. ... They made the cities fortified and walled... surrounded by soldiers and guarded by planes. ...When wars break out... the roses on the balconies will remain alive... and battles rage in the mountains of the villages. ... Farmers, harvesters, and truck drivers will die... but the crops... will still flow onto store shelves.
