Poem
Flavio Santi
And any way life happens
And any way life happenslike with television, a led short-circuits
and you have to throw it away,
maybe to house a wooden cage
maybe to store medicines and hard liquor.
But this Sunday is so sweet
the pigeons on the slated roof
the leaves hang down to a threat of air,
we can forget about it, drag on till night,
go to bed later.

And any way life happens
Poi tanto la vita succede
come alla tele, si fulmina un led
e sei costretto a buttarla,
magari tenere la gabbia di legno
per metterci dentro farmaci o liquori.
Ma questa domenica è così dolce
i colombacci sul tetto d’ardesia
le foglie pendono a una minaccia d’aria,
possiamo lasciar perdere, tirare fino a sera,
andare a letto più tardi.
