To go on a safari. Kill an elephant or a beautiful tiger.

Go to Disneyland. Take a ride in a silly yacht looking for a whale.

Go on one of those monstrous ships for an eternity. Killing my

boredom with food, sex and alcohol. Seeing the sea reflecting my

stupefied face. Go on shopping binges. Exercise like crazy. Drive

aimlessly on the freeway. Date a different girl every day.

Give each one of them my old lines. No, I don’t want that.

Somebody tell me. I just want to rest my head against the shoulder of

one decent woman. That’s all.
