A Little Girl In The Middle Of Nowhere Lost Her Happy Thought

Mary Jane, who was now a small woman,

had learned to observe to learn.

Count Ladurée, instead,

had taught her to wait.

Thus, following her primal instinct,

that which Nature had given her at birth,

Mary Jane learned to interact with every animal and to elicit their soul and essence.

It was hard to get along with Bernhard the mouse.

Perhaps the tests made on him, his friends or relatives in the labs,

had altered his soul and his very conception of life.

Bernhard Blues was a touchy mouse.

He was offended or deeply resented

on something that nothing seemed to others.

He could find refuge in his own little world that the others never saw,

he was on hold, just waiting and

playing his Blues.

Bernhard lived in a dump.

But it was his dump. Only his!

Mary Jane had to be his friend in order to understand his secrets,

because she well knew how to understand him;

One day when everyone was out and

spring began to cast its colors,

Mary Jane approached Bernhard’s dump and

whispered with a light voice like a jazz song brought by the wind:

Its spring out of there, come with me, Bernhard!

Let’s have some fun through the flowery meadows!

I know the smells and sometimes with my eyes closed I sense the colors.

I'm tired! I want to sleep! I'm sorry!

The leaves are moving in the breeze and the air needs to tell many stories;

Bernhard, you’re not tired!

Come with me out there to see and feel.

I'm tired!

And I don’t like you too much!

Bernhard said truthfully.

It doesn't matter! Touchy Mouse! Come outside, the world is all full of colors!

I’m not a Mouse! I’m Bernhard Blues! Stupid pretentious little girl!

Frickin’ mouse, overcome your pain!

Just after, you’ll gain!

Mary Jane said rhyming and smiling.

- Come out and let's play

‘impossible flowers’!

I know all the smells and sometimes

with my eyes closed I sense the colors.

You any good at it?
