WHO IS GONNA LOSE THE HEAD?

A deck of playing cards will tell

“Revolution is like those decks of cards where kings, queens and knights are divided in halves, one straight and the other inverted, head up and head down, you turn and turn it again but fuck! ...nothing changes, the straight king is always paired with the inverted one, as if he was teasing him, as if — from his lower position — he was saying: «I am the you who’s breaking bad! Enjoy it until you can, ’cause the world is arbalting!»”
