Signature Verso, lower left, in graphite: 1/60 Enrique Chagoya '00
Inscription Recto, around edges, in image: I have an idea. I've been reading:/At any given time there are 100,000/People in the air/In airplanes above us./Who is the mayor of the city of the air?/It's somebody in the humming telephone lines./It's somebody inside all those white envelopes./The earth and the sky,/We fill them with our dead./I have an idea.
