ELECTRIC FRAGMENTS N. 6 - DIARIO 1989. 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
