sonriendo en blanco
sangrando en blanco
memorizando en blanco
gritando en blanco
amando
smiling in white
bleeding in white
memorizing in white
screaming in white
loving
tocando en blanco
tecleando en blanco
rezando
creyendo
dios!!
desconectando
apagando
en blanco
touching in white
fingering in white
praying
believing
god!!
disconnecting
switching off
in white
