“The Church says: the body is a sin. Science says: the body is a machine. Advertising says: The body is a business. The Body says: I am a fiesta.” ― Eduardo Galeano, Walking Words

Javier Villafane tam söyleyecekken aklından kaçan kelimeyi boş yere arıyor. Tam dilinin ucundaki o kelime nereye gitmiş olabilir?
