In a city with no name, the little girl with red shoes, the penguins, the salamander and the butterfly were sitting on a bench next to an old man who asked them quite abruptly who they were and what they wanted. Since they had no desire to reply but wanted to remain somewhat courteous with someone who was perspiring sadness, they said that they loved red tomatoes and were looking for the South Austrian Ocean on top of the Alps. The old man replied that the dishwasher did not like to walk in the park, that the King of Florence was lost to humankind and that a TV set was not a verb. After a minute of silence, all laughed because clearly nothing meant anything anymore, a fact which they were proud of.
