I suffer whenever I meet a good man because his sadness is limitless. Whenever we meet, I hug a good man and try to ascertain how deep he will sink, how deep. I caress his back whipped by the dark wind. I stare at his two lips which will be muted by barbaric distrust, and I grip his hands filled with numerous scars of mistakes, soaked in simplicity.
I suffer whenever I meet a good man because insomnia haunts him. He suffers from excessive toothache. Children of a good man trouble the most. His neighbours are aggressive, cruel. His driver cheats, his servant betrays. A good man doesn’t know how to shop; he only buys rotten potatoes. A demon called Destitution looks for opportunities to grab him. A good man dies suddenly, or lives in constant suffering.
I feel happy when I meet a good man because only a good man can smile the most beautiful smile in the world.
