A nadie da de ganar esa locura que hace que el hombre sea niño por un rato, jugando como juega el niño con el globo y como juega el gato con el ovillo de lana, bailarí que danza con una pelota leve con el globo que se va al aire y el ovillo que rueda, jugando sin saber que juega, sin motivo y sin reloj y sin juez.
