Should I have
my house with doors unlocked,
banks without security guards
and supermarkets you can walk
without cameras that sleepless
watch over us;
streets free of patrol police cars
and armored vehicles that carry
either money or arrested men.
Could I talk
to everyone I meet, even child
young or elders, girl or woman,
nobody thinking it would be for
malice or wickedness.
Should I have
this entire world free of assets and
liabilities, debts and credits, profit
and loss; having its accounts made
by other measures, just looking for
the human happiness,
a common plain smile and
a permanent beauty’s ravishment.
