Imagination



Always… since I was a little boy,
Y… logré alcanzar mi más completo uso de razón,
At an age of 3…, or 4…, or 5…, or SEX…, or 7 years old,
Ah!... Did I say: SEX… when I mentioned the number
Between 5 and 7?
Pardon me ma’am… or… sir!
I should better use my French and say: six.
No! My French doesn’t help me either.
I know… perhaps… my beautiful Spanish helps:
A los cinco, o SEIS…, o siete años de edad…

But… I digress…
Yes!
I began to ask people young and old, or between those two ages:
What is the biggest nation on Earth?
Males or females said to me:
Russia,
Canada,
China,
Brazil,
Australia,
And even… The United States of America.

So… that way continued for a long time  my increasingly inquisitive life.

One extremely lucky day…
When I was talking about…
Alexander Von Humboldt,
It suddenly occurred to me…
Out of nowhere…
That the largest Nation on Earth…
Is…
The…
Human…
ImagiNATION!

I…
Am: Jairo Nemocon.
