I've always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboard of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a steamer trunk at the foot of the bed. I was bor...
Ho sempre invidiato le persone che prendono sonno all'istante. Devono avere la testa più ordinata, le pareti del cranio ben pulite, tutti i mostriciattoli chiusi in un baule ai piedi del letto. Io ho...
