En Juegos florales de Pitol está la pregunta de si una persona puede vivir varias vidas (no hablo de la metempsicosis sino de la capacidad de tener diferentes personalidades, tratos, a lo largo de nuestras vidas).

I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman -
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root -
Let there be commerce between us.

"A Pact"
I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman -
I have detested you long enough.
I come to you as a grown child
Who has had a pig-headed father;
I am old enough now to make friends.
It was you that broke the new wood,
Now is a time for carving.
We have one sap and one root -
Let there be commerce between us.
