Χαμένος Ψυχοναύτης

Perso nell’irrequieto turbinio dei mie pensieri
Cerco ostinatamente una via, un percorso, una luce
Che mi porti lontano da qui, al di là dei misteri
Al di là della porta che a nuove visioni conduce

Perso nella fredda oscurità delle mie ossessioni
Cerco Lei, la Morte, per guardarla ancora in volto
Così sopraffatto dalla forza delle mie emozioni
Senza più l’anima, lì mi fermerò per darle ascolto

E non riuscendo più a trovare la strada del ritorno
Con Lei aspetterò il Sole di un fottuto nuovo giorno …

The Last Stand

A Scanner Darkly

What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can’t any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone’s sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I’m cursed and cursed again. And we’ll only wind up dead this way knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.

Raindrops…

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cry is not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing is worrying me

Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reel
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can’t keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I’d thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that’s learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There’s no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, a state of bliss
Can’t keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Neonazisti di merda – Shitty Neo-Nazis

Neonazisti di merda

Scrivo questo post con qualche giorno di distanza perché prima volevo metabolizzare bene l’accaduto: il 17 pomeriggio del mese scorso, mentre facevo un giro in bici, sono stato aggredito da alcuni neonazisti. Pedalavo lungo il mare (vicino Alimos) quando, fermo ad un semaforo, due energumeni vestiti di nero mi si sono avvicinati e, bloccando la mia bicicletta, mi hanno intimato di andare con loro. All’inizio non ho capito cosa volessero da me, credevo fossero agenti di polizia, e quindi ho semplicemente chiesto:”Perché? Che volete?”, i due allora mi hanno ribadito di seguirli, ma io, non muovendomi, ho continuato a chiedere spiegazioni, così uno dei due mi dice:”Che sei? Cosa fai qui?”, io non capendo la domanda ‘che sei?’, mi sarei aspettato un:’chi sei?’, rispondo:”Come che sono? Che significa che sono?” e quelli ancora:”Che sei? Che fai qui?”, non comprendendo bene cosa stia succedendo e sospettando ancora che siano poliziotti, questa volta rispondo:”Sono italiano, sono qui in vacanza” a queste mie parole uno dei due mi sferra un calcio, non troppo forte, sulla gamba e mi dice di nuovo:”Vieni con noi!”, impaurito mi volto e vedo un’altra decina di questi tipi sul marciapiede dall’altra parte della strada, a questo punto non sono più impaurito, ma terrorizzato, questi non sono poliziotti, ma fascisti di merda, (come mi dirà in seguito il mio amico Iannis) io ho troppo l’aspetto dell’anarchico, questi stronzi vogliono menarmi. Sono in mezzo alla strada, ci sono molte macchine ferme al semaforo, preso dal panico comincio a gridare e uno dei due mi molla uno schiaffone in faccia, ma nessuna delle persone che è in quel momento lì interviene e io, sempre più terrorizzato, grido ancora più forte:”Lasciatemi! Che volete?! Non ho fatto niente! Aiuto! Aiuto!” I due, per fortuna, hanno un attimo di esitazione e non bloccano più la mia bici, mi dico:”Ora o mai più, sono in bici, posso scappare!” e così giro la bici e comincio a pedalare, sento che uno dei due tenta di afferrare la bici di nuovo, ma mi divincolo e, pedalando così forte come forse mai ho fatto in vita mia, riesco a scappare … Dieci minuti dopo sono a casa di Iannis, sono suo ospite in questi giorni di permanenza ad Atene, gli racconto dell’aggressione e lui per vederci chiaro va a farsi un giro in scouter da quelle parti, quando torna mi dice:”Amico mio, sei stato veramente fortunato! Non c’erano una decina di nazisti lì, ma più di cinquecento! Stanno inaugurando una nuova sede di Alba Dorata, se ti avessero preso, avrebbero sacrificato ‘l’anarchico italiano’ per rendere più belli i festeggiamenti! Sei sfuggito ad un linciaggio per miracolo!” …
Ora capisco, anche se continuo ad essere contrario ad ogni forma di violenza, perché, qualche giorno prima, qualcuno ad Exarcheia mi aveva fatto vedere la pistola appena comprata dicendomi:”Io vivo per strada, senza di questa non mi sento sicuro.”, si, ora lo capisco, ora capisco perché molti hanno paura, ora capisco perché altri evitano di uscire da Exarcheia, ora capisco perché altri ancora vogliono armarsi, ora capisco che la situazione in Grecia è molto più grave di quanto pensassi, ora capisco perché purtroppo ora ho paura anch’io …

Shitty Neo-Nazis

I write this post some days later because I wanted to metabolize well what happened: 17th afternoon last month, while riding my bicycle, I was attacked by neo-Nazis. I was going by the sea (close to Alimos) when, waiting at a traffic light, two very big guys dressed in black approached me and, blocking my bike, said to me to go with them. At the beginning I did not understand what they wanted from me, I thought they were police officers, and so I simply asked, “Why? What do you want?”, so the two guys repeated to follow them, but I did not move and I continued to ask for explanations, so one of them said to me: “What are you? What are you doing here?”, I did not understand the question ‘what are you?’, I would have expected:’Who are you?’, I replied, “How ‘what are you’? What does ‘what am I’ mean?” and those still: “What are you? What are you doing here?”, not understanding what’s being happen and suspecting that they were still cops, this time I answered:”I’m Italian, I’m here on vacation” at these words one of the two delivers a kick, not too strong, on my leg and says to me again: “Come with us!”, afraid I turn and I see a dozen of these types on the sidewalk on the other side of the street, at this point I’m no longer afraid, I’m terrified, these are not police officers, but shitty fascists, (as my friend Iannis will say to me later) I have too much the appearance of the anarchist, these assholes want to beat me. I’m in the middle of the road, there are many cars at the traffic light, I panick and I begin to shout, one of the two hits me with a slap in my face, but none of the people that is there in that moment intervenes, so I, more and more terrified, scream even louder:”Get off me! What do you want?! I did not do anything! Help, help!” The two, fortunately, have a moment of hesitation and are no longer blocking my bike, I tell myself: “Now or never, I have a bicycle, I can get away!” and so I turn the bike and I start pedaling, I feel that one of the two attempts to grab the bike again, but I struggle and, pedaling as hard as I possibly ever done in my life, I flee away … Ten minutes later I’m home by Iannis, I am his guest in these days in Athens, I tell him the story of the attack and he goes there with his scouter to see clearly what was going on, when he comes back he says: “My friend, you were really lucky! There were not a dozen Nazis, but more than five hundred! They are inaugurating a new office of Golden Dawn, if they had taken you, they would have sacrifice ‘the Italian anarchist’ to make the most beautiful celebrations! You escaped a lynching by a miracle! ” …
Now I understand, although I continue to be opposed to any form of violence, why, a few days before in Exarcheia, someone had shown me the gun just bought, saying: “I live on the street, without it I do not feel safe.” Yes, Now I understand it, now I understand why so many people are afraid, now I understand why others avoid to walk out of Exarcheia, now I understand why others want to arm themselves, now I understand the situation in Greece is much more serious than I thought, now I understand because unfortunately now I’m afraid too …

Youth

We are the reckless
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we’ll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there

And if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones,
‘Cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong

The lovers that went wrong …

Di nuovo nella mia Atene – Back to my Athens

Di nuovo nella mia Atene

Otto mesi e mezzo: questo il tempo trascorso da quando ho lasciato Atene. Negli ultimi giorni prima della partenza, non ce la facevo più, avrei voluto scappare via, in fretta, il più velocemente possibile. Credevo che la mia Atene non mi volesse più, che ce l’avesse con me, perché le avevo troppe volte sputato, pisciato addosso; pensavo che tornare a “casa” mi avrebbe fatto bene, mi avrebbe aiutato, ma ad un certo punto ho scoperto che mi sarebbe mancata anche la puzza di piscio proveniente da quell’angolo di Πάρκο che dava sulla stessa strada della mia abitazione ateniese …
Si forse è vero, tornando a Sora, tornando a “casa”, ho ritrovato una tranquillità che credevo persa da tempo: ma a che prezzo? Questo il punto …
Ora che sono finalmente di nuovo qui nella Πόλη, ho capito: quella vita “sicura”, “tranquilla” ha per me un costo troppo alto, quella vita mi prosciuga, mi svuota, quella vita non è la mia, quella vita non mi appartiene più, forse non mi è mai appartenuta, adesso è solo più chiaro il motivo che molti anni fa mi ha portato a lasciarla …
Ho scritto qualche post fa:”Qualcosa mi insegue, mi perseguita, da così a lungo, da così troppo tempo che non posso più farne a meno, non ho voglia di sfuggirle, non ho voglia di lasciarla andare …” Ora più che mai ne sono sicuro, ora più che mai capisco che la mia vita lì a “casa” non ha un senso, non l’ha mai avuto, ora so che per me lì non c’è, non c’è mai stato niente …

Back to my Athens

Eight and a half months: this is the time elapsed since I left Athens. In the last days before my departure, I could not tolerate it anymore, I wanted to run away, quickly, as quickly as possible. I thought my Athens did not want me anymore, I thought She was angry with me, because I have spit, pissed on Her too many times; I thought that coming back “home” would have done me good, it would have me helped, but at some point I discovered I would miss even the stink of the piss coming from that corner of Πάρκο facing the same street of my Athenian house …
Yes maybe it’s true, returning to Sora, returning “home”, I found back a peace that I thought was lost forever, but at what price? That’s the point …
Now that I’m finally back here in the Πόλη, I realized: that “safe”, “quiet” life is too expensive for me, that life drains me, it empties me, that is not my life, that life is not mine anymore, perhaps it never was mine, now it’s just clearer the reason that many years ago made me to leave it …
I’ve written a few posts ago: “Something is chasing me, something is haunting me, for so long, since too long that I can’t do without it, I don’t wanna escape, I don’t want to let it go …” Now more than ever, I’m sure, now more than ever I understand that my life there at “home” has no meaning, it never had meaning, now I know that for me there’s nothing, there never was anything …

Sheep

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient, you follow the leader

Down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

Dalla violenza alla non violenza – From violence to non-violence

Dalla violenza alla non violenza

Dalla violenza alla non violenza: questa l’unica possibile e naturale evoluzione per l’essere umano. L’uomo primitivo aveva bisogno di essere violento per necessità di sopravvivenza, oggi l’uomo moderno deve essere non violento per la stessa ragione. Solamente eliminando ogni comportamento violento dalle nostre vite, raggiungeremo il gradino successivo dell’evoluzione.

From violence to non-violence

From violence to non-violence: this the only possible and natural evolution for the human being. The primitive man had to be violent in order to survive, today the modern man must be non-violent for the same reason. Only eliminating every violent behavior from our lives, we will reach the next step of evolution.

Third year of “Bloog”

Είδα το μέλλον, είδα την ανυπαρξία γεμάτη με άπειρες δυνατότητες, ίσως είδα Θεό … the time is a mental abstraction, it does not exist. the past is no longer, the future is still to be, how can the present, as the separation between two things that do not exist, exist? Para los animales todos los humanos son nazis Tiendas LlenaS – vidas vacias Arbeit macht frei something very important has changed I feel a physical need, a physical need to express myself, to express my ideas, to continue to fight my war. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. I wanna be like earth, compacting myself to not collapse, so to embank the most intense sorrows of my soul without the fear to be swept away … like earth I’ll be the bodies of the people, like earth I’ll receive mine at the end of the journey … Yo, si soy el Sancho, si soy el Quijote, Yo no lo sé y tampoco quiero descubrirlo. Έκλαψα χτες σαν μέτρησα τα κενά που είναι μέσα μου όταν είμαι χωρίς εσένα γλυκόπικρη Αθήνα αγάπη μου As I watched the Sun warming the mountain slopes, the Tekno smashed my eardrums, enabling the visions to find their way into my consciousness. Picking up shreds of premature enlightenment, I will find again my lost nightmares, my abandoned paranoia, my hidden fears, in the dark, through the music, on the faces of the crowd … I do not have a body, I do not have a soul … I am the vision of my vision …

Atom

I do not have a body, I do not have a soul …
I am an Atom that collides with others in a storm of lights,
there, bouncing eternally, Space and Time loose their meaning,
there, becoming pure energy, I am all the possible existences,
I am the Past, the Present, the Future …
I am the Life, the Death, the Nothing, the Infinity …
I am the vision of my vision …

Libertà illegale – Illegal Freedom

Libertà illegale

Mentre guardavo il Sole scaldare i pendii delle montagne, la Tekno mi sfondava i timpani, permettendo alle visioni di farsi strada all’interno della mia coscienza. La musica si propagava ad ondate vibranti che attraversavano la mia mente; le note, i battiti, il ritmo, rimanevano lì, intrappolati fra le grinze del mio cervello. Intrappolati come noi in questo mondo ingiusto, pieno di oppressioni, dove la libertà è stata dichiarata fuori legge, dove solo nell’illegalità è relegata la vera possibilità di esprimersi, di cantare fuori dal coro. Perché in questa legalità niente è veramente libero, perché tutto è confinato, tutto è recintato, tutto è rinchiuso negli spazi preposti, perché, per essere legale, tutto deve avere un prezzo.
Io non mi fermerò, rincorrerò sempre quella sensazione indescrivibile che solo determinate condizioni riescono a provocare, quella sensazione che non potrò mai dimenticare, quella sensazione che continuerò a cercare, dovesse costarmi tutto …
Raccogliendo brandelli di illuminazione prematura, ritroverò i miei incubi smarriti, le mie paranoie abbandonate, le mie paure nascoste, nel buio, fra la musica, sui volti della gente …

Illegal Freedom

As I watched the Sun warming the mountain slopes, the Tekno smashed my eardrums, enabling the visions to find their way into my consciousness. The music was propagated in vibrating waves that were crossing my mind; the notes, the beats, the rhythm, remained there, trapped between the wrinkles of my brain. Trapped as we are in this unfair world, full of oppressions, where freedom is outlawed, where the real opportunity to express ourselves, to sing out from the pack, can exist only in illegality. Because in this legality nothing is really free, because everything is confined, everything is fenced, everything is locked up in the appropriated spaces, because, to be legal, everything must have a price.
I will not stop, I will chase forever that indescribable feeling that only certain conditions can cause, that feeling I will never forget, that feeling I’m going to continue to seek, at any cost …
Picking up shreds of premature enlightenment, I will find again my lost nightmares, my abandoned paranoia, my hidden fears, in the dark, through the music, on the faces of the crowd …

Έκλαψα χτες σαν μέτρησα
τις νύχτες που ‘μαι μόνος
τις νύχτες που σ’αναζητώ
και με καρφώνει ο πόνος

Έκλαψα χτες σαν μέτρησα
τα κενά που είναι μέσα μου
όταν είμαι χωρίς εσένα
γλυκόπικρη Αθήνα αγάπη μου
