V5.5

Problem number one:
The sink's volume is a life; the crack of the past repaired
two taps, flow equal and constant
the soup is ready on the table;

how long will it take for love trickling down to fill the four walls?

Problem number two:
The train that leaves birth and moves toward the terminus crosses the fear of “time passing” in the spring of thirty-five;
what is the train's load?

Problem number three:
I have a handful of pebbles in my hand; half is red-love; a quarter is white-hope; the rest is black-dread;
how many pebbles will remain in my hand when I come back from this dream, tomorrow?

Problem number four:
The woman's heart is wide as two houses; the man's gaze is ninety degrees.
Which will be truer than the other when they love each other?

Problem number five:
If the story of “being two halves of an apple” is a crude lie; if there are two whole fruits;
what will be the color of the one that remains when the other falls from the basket?

Problem number six:
Light travels faster than sound; glances arrive before the song;
when light is absent and the song, caressing? what will be the density of the illusion?

Problem number seven:
Given that well-being is constant, at night the moon reaches fullness, by day the sun is at its zenith, 24 hours overflow with love,
find the number of small joys needed to build an immense one.

Problem number eight:
The graph is linear. The past no longer hurts, the present is gentle, the future promises. The dream is palpable.
What is the probability of death risking to disrupt the rhythm?

Problem number nine:
A princess (who is not one) kisses 
a number of toads (who are not princes) hoping to find love.
Disappointed and desperate, she locks herself inside a shell.
With what power must the caresses of the prince (who is a true one) force the walls of this fortress
so the woman becomes the true princess of a true fairytale?

Problem number ten:
The capacity of a heart depends on the absorption of sweetness by the one who carries it.
How many minutes must one hold their breath to reach the best sponge?
How long must one breathe love for happiness to lengthen?
Is one life long enough to spread across vast green plains inside the heart, such a small box?

Here is the homework:

To see,
To see again,
To know,
To believe,
To give,
To receive,
To love,

To conjugate the present,
To revise the past,
To learn the future.
