   │║  looking around, waiting for the age of the awakening...            ║│

  │└╢  scene, ready to launch the signal to the next generation, it was   ╟┘│

  ┌┼╢  his ownway of life, that kind of behaviour that lets you go over   ╟┼┐

  │┌╢  that way... But anyway, it is not what you see, but what you feel  ╟┐│
  └┼╢  when you open the packet, the reason why everybody eats            ╟┼┘
  ┌┼╢  'cornflakes' at breakfast, normally very fast, because they have   ╟┼┐
  │└╢  to do long travels and visit the boss to ask for a rise in         ╟┘│
  │┌╢  salary, always feeling the tension in the atmosphere, but with     ╟┐│
  └┼╢  the wish in their mind, telling themselves, that nobody has a      ╟┼┘

  │┌╢  cornflake swimming in the milk, and the outskirts of a vast city,  ╟┐│
  └┼╢  where nobody knows everybody, in which everybody doesn't know      ╟┼┘
  ┌┼╢  anybody and anybody knows nobody, and the man in the middle of     ╟┼┐
