----------------------------------------------------
If I were a city, when you visit me, how can you remember me?
You can take picture of the city, of course.
You can buy something from the city, as a souvenir, any price as you wish.
My hair is the trees, plants and flowers of the city.
My clothes are the architectures of the city.
My saliva is the river and water of the city.
My excrement is the mineral of the city.
My voice is the music of the city.
My breath is the wind of the city.
If at the end, I have nothing left,
Isn’t that just happening now in other cities?
-------------------------------------------
I ask people to buy (take) anything I have as a souvenir
