Gioielli di Giornale #24

This idea

is so distorted,

transfixed,

to mark our bodies

as shame

or lack of respect

when in their maternal

******

that rags

they wear

ornate us

and dictate

what our respect

is

when it is completely on

the contrary

and such rules

made by society

are claimed to be of God.

Our nature and self-confidence

of it

(can)

make even the most

shaggy rags radiant

and worth of envy.

As if coming to meet Them

purely from your own

will so eager no matter

if you’re even

just

in

a

towel

didn’t count as a great

act of devotion.

That ****** is illegal,

that beaches where you can be

non-clad are

only for the “major” persons

(because underage ones

are supposedly

not

in their right mind),

and as Dante Quintana,

my eponym,

noticed truly:

how shoes

are unnatural

and how not wearing them

is not

a sign of poverty

or lousiness.

Notes

Remarking on the stubborn and void of

Our benevolent choice or strive

Culture, rules or traditionals,

How we made ourselves maimed

And yet still speak of too much liberty

Whilst it is just a beginning

Of finding inwards

How locked we are from our hand.

Or rather shaped as scripted letters in formal indexes
