Neve
"Ci sono due specie di persone.
Ci sono quelli che vivono, giocano e muoiono.
E ci sono quelli che si tengono in equilibrio sul crinale della vita.
Ci sono gli attori.
E ci sono i funamboli."
Ci sono quelli che vivono, giocano e muoiono.
E ci sono quelli che si tengono in equilibrio sul crinale della vita.
Ci sono gli attori.
E ci sono i funamboli."

Difesa dell'allegria
"Difendere l’allegria come una trincea
difenderla dallo scandalo e dalla routine
dalla miseria e dai miserabili
dalle assenze transitorie
e le definitive
difendere l’allegria come un principio
difenderla dallo sbalordimento e dagli incubi
dai neutrali e dai neutroni
dalle dolci infamie
e dalle gravi diagnosi
difendere l’allegria come una bandiera
difenderla dal fulmine e dalla malinconia
dagli ingenui e dalle canaglie
dalla retorica e dagli arresti cardiaci
dalle endemie e dalle accademie
difendere l’allegria come un destino
difenderla dal fuoco e dai pompieri
dai suicidi e dagli omicidi
dalle vacanze e dalla fatica
dall’obbligo di essere allegri
difendere l’allegria come una certezza
difenderla dall’ossido e dal sudiciume
dalla famosa patina del tempo
dall’umidità e dall’opportunismo
dai prosseneti del ridere
difendere l’allegria come un diritto
difenderla da Dio e dall’inverno
dalle maiuscole e dalla morte
dai cognomi e dalle pene
dal caso
e anche dall’allegria"

Veronika
<<In uno dei suoi momenti di lucidità, un'infermiera le domandò:
"Non vuoi notizie sulle tue condizioni?"
"Le conosco," rispose Veronika. "E non si tratta di quello che tu vedi nel mio corpo; riguarda ciò che sta avvenendo nella mia anima." >>

09/04/1821 - per ricordare
"Ti dono
questi versi, perché se un giorno
il mio nome approderà felicemente
alle epoche lontane
e farà sognare qualche sera i
cervelli degli uomini,
vascello assecondato da un gran
vento,
il
ricordo di te, pari alle vaghe favole,
affatichi
il lettore come un timpano,
e resti
appeso come un fraterno
e
mistico anello alle mie rime altere;
essere
maledetto cui, dagli abissi profondi sino al più alto dei cieli,
nulla
all'infuori di me risponde! O tu,
che
come un'ombra dall'effimera orma,
calpesti
con piede leggero e sguardo sereno
gli
stupidi mortali che t'hanno giudicato amara,
statua
dagli occhi metallici, grande angelo dalla bronzea fronte!"

Wrong
"I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That lead to
The wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
By the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
Used the wrong method with the wrong techniqueWrong.
Wrong.
There’s something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I’ve reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
If it’s wrong plans in the wrong hands
The wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong lies or the wrong bye’s
The wrong questions with the wrong replies..
Wrong.
Wrong.
I was marching to the wrong drum with the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines and the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
The wrong rendition of the wrong look
With the wrong moon
Every wrong night
With the wrong two pence and it sounded right
Yeah...
Wrong.
Wrong.
too long....
Wrong.
too long...
Wrong.

Tanti anni fa...
<<Chantal udì il rumore delle veneziane di metallo che sbattevano; le sovvenne la voce della nonna che le raccontava ciò che era accaduto.
"Tanti anni fa, in una delle caverne della zona viveva un eremita, che in seguito sarebbe stato conosciuto come San Savino. A quell'epoca, Viscos era solo un posto di frontiera, popolato da banditi sfuggiti alla giustizia, contrabbandieri, prostitute, avventurieri in cerca di complici, assassini che si riposavano tra un delitto e l'altro. Il peggiore di loro, un arabo di nome Ahab, controllava il paese e i dintorni, estorcendo denaro ai contadini che ancora si ostinavano nel tentativo di vivere in maniera dignitosa e onesta.
"Un giorno, Savino lasciò la caverna e raggiunse la casa di Ahab, dove chiese di pernottare. Ahab scoppiò a ridere: 'Non sai che sono un assassino, che ho sgozzato moltissime persone e che per me la tua vita non vale niente?'
" 'Lo so,' rispose Savino. 'Ma sono stanco di vivere in quella caverna. Vorrei passare almeno una notte qui.'
"Ahab conosceva la fama del santo, grande quanto la sua, e ne era infastidito: non gradiva il fatto di dover condividere la gloria con una persona così fragile. Sicchè decise di ucciderlo quella notte stessa, per dimostrare a tutti di essere l'unico autentico signore del posto.
"Chiacchierarono per un po'. Ahab fu impressionato dalle parole del santo ma, poiché era un uomo sospettoso, non credeva più nel Bene. Indicò a Savino un luogo dove sdraiarsi e si mise ad affilare la lama del pugnale, minacciosamente. Savino, dopo averlo osservato per qualche momento, chiuse gli occhi e si addormentò.
"Ahab affilò la lama per tutta la notte. Al mattino, quando Savino si svegliò, lo trovò in lacrime accanto a sé.
" 'Tu non hai avuto paura di me, né mi hai giudicato. Per la prima volta, qualcuno ha trascorso la notte al mio fianco, confidando nel fatto che avrei potuto essere un uomo buono, capace di dare ospitalità a coloro che ne hanno bisogno. Tu hai creduto che io potessi comportarmi rettamente. E perciò mi sono comportato in modo giusto.'
"Da quel momento, Ahab abbandonò la vita criminale e si impegnò per trasformare la regione. Fu allora che Viscos cessò di essere il luogo di frontiera popolato da emarginati, per diventare una cittadina importante nel commercio fra i due paesi.">>
