MANIFESTO:

What happens when your pillow doesn’t want to be your own?
What happens when your pillow doesn’t want to be your own?

What does one dream about when your pillow doesn’t let you sleep in it?

I hope the sun shines tomorrow,
Even though,
If it does,
I won’t know what to do with it

What does one do when there are two pillows that don’t want to belong to you?
What does one do when there are two pillows that don’t want to belong to you?

You put one pillow,
On top of the other pillow,
And therefore the first pillow becomes a pillow
To the second pillow

And so you continue

Commodity is no longer the issue.
Survival is

And so you build a tower,
A tower of pillows
A tower of whispers and unspoken thoughts
A tower of hope

A tower of hopeI hope the sun shines tomorrow
Even though if it does...
