I succeeded into tempting  the  viewers into committing a crime to steal a potted palm  from a nearby terrace. The police caught us immediately. While the audience tried to explain our actions to the officer, as if during a confession, propelled by my ignorance of spanish,  I had time to reflect on my life.

I wanted to amaze the world. I intended to travel and take control over the landscape, but I got lost in the grandeur of my vision. I aspired to influence my environment, but it seems this environment has been changing me.  Over time, I have gained experience and have learned that life experiences end with the last one, and as such,  I will not survive.
