The other day my friend was like every Friday by Mrs. Lina. The picture is this: ninety, bedridden for so many months that are soon to merge in a year, the eye still bright and so lively as to be able to see where we do not see a white hair made recovered from naive ... what you give back when the brain removed some 'oxygen ... And yes, it's all a give-and-take in the world, indeed, in this case perhaps it is better to speak and remove put ...
The story would have been to every week: extends his arm, shoulder wheel, bending the leg, bike (simulated of course), massage the muscles atrophied, and so on. etc.. if it was that this time she was limping ... my friend had a sore knee.
Lina sees her and smiles, the one that comes when you finally feel understood, you're not alone, you can finally share ... Hurray! someone else in need of spare parts. So start talking, saying, "I ... there ... there's so many I know I?" "What?" "The legs ... If you want I'll give you one, so then you make me! I do not understand why instead of making me do these stupid exercises do not put it back to me ... Oh well ... oh well never mind! Both the young people are not with you ... But you never check it, damn! With little caveresti thee! "Is my friend:" You think so? But it is necessary that the leg is the right size, otherwise it's a mess "and Lina:" And now ... but I do have a lot! so if you ever change them both! " And in short, the dialogue went on for a bit 'and then end up in anything like all the words that suddenly lost in the maze of memories. The eyes are veiled, and the head is white ... maybe childhood, perhaps to his first love, perhaps the children not seen for years, perhaps his favorite dessert, the apple strudel recipe that is so well but I do not remember the very last ingredient, or maybe ....
... the ir-rational mechanics-kinematics of the knee. ...
And suddenly, out of nowhere, starts to speak: "If not ... now that I think, that I would have knee ... would do just for you ... so you do not mind long. Disconnect the bottom, coming off the knee, replacing it with the good one, hang up the sub. Here! Just a few clicks away ... and screws? Mmmm ... Yes I tried the screws but I have not found ... But it is not the problem. We do them unscrew the mechanic: I legs and knees ... and you then ... if ever. We also carry with him that you never know .... Serve another replacement! "
you, my friend, he wanted to ask you many things. Where is the clarity of those solutions which seem odd but they are not many more speeches that every day we are forced to listen. He wanted to ask what those eyes trying to see no more; what those neo-cybernetic visions of trying to cover up and heal, and above all he wanted to ask imploring:

you, my friend, he wanted to ask you many things. Where is the clarity of those solutions which seem odd but they are not many more speeches that every day we are forced to listen. He wanted to ask what those eyes trying to see no more; what those neo-cybernetic visions of trying to cover up and heal, and above all he wanted to ask imploring:
"A HEART! I want a heart ... I give all the legs of the world, and hands that would be enough to replace glazed already the morning before work, and the hairstyles of colors and lengths. I leave it to others even blue eyes and perfect teeth ... I want a brand new heart. Without pain. Without scarring. Without the holes, which leaves us there who bites him mercilessly. A vacuum, everything from paint some beautiful things, to shape. On which to attack the face and the smile of those who know how to love again as children, without fear, without flashback, with no overlap ... like the first time. "
But the heart of Lina do not spare him. Of that I will always and only one ... for all those who know and love him for who will only step on it. And, whether we like it or not, will all be together in there ... Perhaps the secret is to split it in circles ... as it did with Dante's Inferno ... or maybe in heaven ... as in Heaven .
