"What do crazy cows dream of ?"/Pascal Schmitt 1997,08,11



Comment:

The woman was peacefully sleeping inside the cow, just worried, sometimes, by the waves of heat randomly emanating from the tortured brain of the crazy beast.
The third day of the sixth month, she gave birth to a tiny cat.
The cat drank the cow's milk and grew up day after day.
The sixth day of the third month, he was strong enough to find his way to the cow's head.
And he started drinking the poisonned fluid which was burning its brain.
Delivered from the evil madness, the cow was about to free the woman and its baby cat...
Each place is someone's dream, carved in the sky or in the rocks of a desertic nowhere.
Each dream contains other possibilities.
Don't wake me up.
