Who made the world?

Fourth, play for real, play thinking of existing. Uff! And from here on we already don’t count anymore because what we’re going to do is brave, delicate, mysterious, it’s cheerful but it’s sad too, anyway… it’s complicated.
It’s intimate. It’s a secret, and secrets you don’t tell everyone.
