I peer at the world
And all I see is
possible impossibilities
fictional realities
counterfeit originality
impotent functionality
locomotive staticity,
and rigid elasticity
beside Beastie humanity...*

I look at the world
and all there's
are peaceful wars
Less Mores
widely locked doors
criminal laws
a stinking rose
and fragrant "choos"
I look at the world
and sadly I see all those...
I even see stepped on toes
on sand-less shores...

i'm a dynamic being.
i'm always changing.
i'm terrified of being static.
i don't want to stay the same.
i don't like myself and i want to change.
i never like myself.
if i was static i think i would die.

You may forget the songs that made you dance
but never the moments that gave you the courage
to put away staticity and jump into rhythmic momentum...
Life is music, the rhythm is how we choose to live it
and as you know music is music, no matter the genre...
Vedo la luce di un lampione,
in fondo alla via.

Dall'alto.

Non voglio illumini da sola la strada.
Non riesce bene.
Non è serena.

Lei non è fioca.
Ma non è viva.

È giallina,
ma d'un giallo che non sceglieresti mai
tra i pastelli colorati.

L’asfalto crepato, le erbacce secche, le case vuote,
ciò che illumina è familiare.
Ma non amico.

Non deve esser molto contento,
quel lampione,
come un padre che osserva, immobile,
il figlio morente.

Vorrei potesse andarsene
da quella staticità.

Da quella strada.

Da quel nulla.

///

I see the light of a street lamp,
at the end of the street.

From above.

I don't want it to light up the road by itself.
It doesn't work well.
It's not serene.

It's not dim.
But it's not alive.

It's yellowish,
but a yellow you'd never choose
among colored crayons.

The cracked asphalt, the dry weeds, the empty houses,
what it illuminates is familiar.
But not friendly.

It must not be very happy,
that street lamp,
like a father who watches, motionless,
his dying son.

I wish it could go away
from that staticity.

From that street.

From that nothingness.
Written looking out the window in midnight

— The End —
