Cloud nine

ST (May 4, 2006)

They improvise a tripod with the rucksack and a litter bin, so that they can both be in the photograph. There's a picturesque sunset and a bright white light reflects on the water of a huge useless pool and the polished surface of the marble-spangled dome of the planetarium behind. The girl sets the camera ready and runs towards her boyfriend, who's already keeping a pose and a smile. She leans against him and they both freeze for the snapshot, in a cinematographic attitude. Right after the shot she runs to the camera, unstable over the rucksack, to check the outcome. Satisfied, she jumps a little jump, shouts a little shout, and laughs a little laugh. He approaches her and kisses her. They're foolishly in love to the rest of the world.
