The party goes round and round and the riders come out,
bring laughter and joy to young and old alike.
Little creature steps into the dance
and provokes indifference.
Green and red don't mix,
and in this grey crowd,
we witness a very strange dance,
where only the monster stands out.
He wants to fit in,
he wants to be like them.
So he comes up with an idea:
Go to the Mirror Maze.
A ticket in exchange for a new conscience,
that's what he's been promised.
And by getting rid of his weird body,
he can find his new life.
Creature reveals himself as a Chameleon,
and the body he observes,
looks hideous to him,
because it's not vermilion.
To detach himself from his colours
is what he wants so badly.
It would make him look like the other visitors,
paler, but more like them.
Reptile enters the Maze Mirror,
and, amid the bursts of colour,
walks forward with curiosity,
among the fleeting reflections.
His reflection deformed,
twisted, and became threadlike,
transformed by the mirrors
of this strange suffocator.
Apparitions follow him with their eyes,
what is this creature that wanders here?
A door opened at the end of the corridor
and he slipped inside to have a look.
"Stuck", thought the Chameleon,
noticing that disappearance of the door,
and under the neon lights, the appearance of a figure.
Here's an ugly face,
the saurian discovers.
Frightened by this savage appearance,
where before he could see nothing.
Now he's surrounded
and on the run.
And in this chase,
stands before him,
a crimson chimera.
He uses his retractable tongue
as a projectile,
to flee from this comedy.
But the chimera, more cunning,
continues to hit him, out of line,
and the chameleon is carried off,
into the darkness.
The fall is vertiginous
and the reptile is launched,
in a dazzling atmosphere,
unable to stop.
Its body twists and lurches,
and in this universe of half-light,
its colours lose their brilliance:
the chameleon finds himself in the shadows.
The fall stops,
tired, he rolls,
and ventures outside.
But he immediately laments,
the eyes of the crowd
Curious...
They noticed him too much.
In a stream, he observes himself.
Now a chimera,
he has lost his innate colours,
and his body is now transformed.
Approaching his new friends,
he quickly becomes puzzled.
Why are they running away from him,
who wanted to be like them?
Isn't the loss of his originality
not worth their friendship?
Not completely transformed,
perhaps it's time to persevere.
Back into the mirrors, that's his solution,
to finally stop being a chameleon.
