| We are the poets, the dwarves on the giants
|
| You wouldn't think so, yet we are alive;
|
| We metaphor, we metaphor everything
|
| Not to understand if there was a meaning underneath
|
| We have wonderful ideas in mind
|
| Which rarely coincide with things:
|
| We fly high, if you don't understand anything
|
| Worse for you, we don't write for people ...
|
| And the battleship Potemkin starts
|
| In a riot of festive flags
|
| And prizes are awarded
|
| And they proclaim themselves geniuses
|
| And the others all behind
|
| By rowing boat ...
|
| Here and there on the bridge a verse of love turns
|
| A little lost in the midst of so much splendor:
|
| Fulminant synaesthesia
|
| Alliterate non-senses
|
| Dead hands without compliments
|
| Two jokes about absent colleagues
|
| Little little, so innocent:
|
| Pull the anchor, turn the propeller
|
| How beautiful it is to go
|
| Free on the sea!
|
| The clumsy imitations have no escape
|
| Of 4 or 5 song scribblers:
|
| They don't know how to dig the word
|
| Up to reduce it like an apple core!
|
| Down in the hold, among the mice and the heart oil
|
| There is still room for some songwriters
|
| And some critic, partial or impartial
|
| According to the rhythm of his sexual life ...
|
| What a beautiful battleship Potemkin!
|
| The fearless crew is unmatched:
|
| In between are the visionaries
|
| At the bow the new currents
|
| Aft the recurring currents;
|
| It steals your eyes while it is spinning on the sea
|
| If it crashed it would be immortal
|
| While Giovanni declaims
|
| "Zanzi" goes off topic
|
| And Edoardo puts a poem there
|
| With the crossword puzzle of the week
|
| And the logarithms of the night before ...
|
| Hey, you up there
|
| Beautiful youth
|
| Is there anyone who
|
| He stayed down!
|
| Drop anchor!
|
| Stop the propeller!
|
| Shame on you
|
| Laura P. is missing
|
| Laura P. is missing,
|
| Laura P. is missing,
|
| Without Laura P
|
| Nun if a little left ...
|
| Without Laura P
|
| Nun if a little left! |
