The police will tell you that you’ve got to pay, and you won’t understand. On a very sunny Thursday morning you took the train, you haven’t parked on a no parking zone, actually you don’t even own a car. The policeman will tell you that that’s exactly where the problem is, you should be owning at least two of them, to even be considered in our society. You have no value whatsoever so you have to pay a fine: 100 pounds now or 200 in a week. You’ll ask why do you have to pay if you own less than others. It’s very simple, he’ll answer politely. Have a look around, all of these skyscrapers are full of people who are trying to shine like those windows. They ‘ve got only one car but they want to look like they have two, they respect the laws of evolution, you don’t. Without them you’d still be sleeping in trees and eating raw fish by the riverside, not in a sushi bar. You'd be dressed in your hair. Actually, speaking of clothes, he’ll say, these aren’t good enough. You need to pay 30 pounds if you want to go back home with those shoes. Also, he’ll add, by signing here you state that you’ll promptly get changed as soon as you get home if you want to leave your house again. You’ll look at him and ask what’s wrong with my clothes. You didn’t spend enough money on them so you need to pay now, he’ll explain. You’ll look at your trousers and you’ll ask what would happen if you decided not to do any of this nonsense. You’d follow me to the headquarters, and for this question you owe me another 20 pounds, he’ll reply, resting his right hand on his baton. According to the policeman, you slept by the riverside and you caught fishes with your bare hands. It Might not have been you or your father, probably not even your grandad. But there’s a small diamond buried in the core of your brain, and also in your dad’s and grandad's. that’s what makes you able to catch fish using only your hands. It’s a pound for Every minute i wait for your answer, he’ll state. He’ll write numbers on his tablet thinking that you might have a screw loose, (and you know) he won’t be entirely wrong. Meanwhile You’re having flashbacks to your life by the river. And then suddenly you reconnect your nerves to that small cerebral diamond of yours that makes you compete with the fishes’ reflexes. And you’d find its a lot easier to compete with the reflexes of a policeman. And grab his weapon with your bare hands. 5 minutes later you’ll be free. you’ll be watching the skyscrapers above you. You’ll realize that you live in the finest city in the world. You’ll almost feel sorry about having to leave it, but you’ll have no other choice. You will be your own city, your skin will be your borders, and a baton encrusted with human teeth will be your flag!
