6o days before the Event/the trajectory
as it take place is already in the past
– a past that has been betrayed, thrown away –
unrealized
In the midst of the Italian countryside
A surreal vision
mosquitoes, grasshoppers, sausage smoke
And smoke on the stage, proletarian food
Carnality, vitality (or vital), rhythm
But already a shadow theater, too
Eclipse – Real and unreal
A primitive, savage world
Almost
In which other
Cultures
Insert themselves
Like a card castle
It will fall in a complex situation
In a complex catastrophe
Imponderable
The present disorientation
Of a local culture
With deep roots.
Che Guevara – improbable dancers
Flash dance – counter mazurka and
Even more improbable dancers
In an exotic Latin American style,
suburban American
Far from the rhythms of tangos, of waltzes
We are in
An awkward suburban Nashville
Going up in smoke
Imitative fake imposed
Far from the initial genuineness
Their not having any doubts
Unconditional devotion to the Cause
Soon to suffer
a cut a derailing
