Title: Boogie
BOOGIE
Due note e il ritornello era gia` nella pelle di quei due
il corpo di lei mandava vampate africane, lui sembrava un
coccodrillo...
i saxes spingevano a fondo come ciclisti gregari in fuga
e la canzone andava avanti sempre piu` affondata nell'aria...
quei due continuavano, da lei saliva afrore di coloniali
che giungevano a lui come da una di quelle drogherie di una volta
che tenevano la porta aperta davanti alla primavera...
qualcuno nei paraggi incominciava a starnutire,
il ventilatore ronzava immenso dal soffitto esausto,
i saxes, ipnotizzati... dai movimenti di lei si spandevano
rumori di gomma e di vernice, da lui di cuoio...
le luci saettavano sul volto pechinese della cassiera
che fumava al mentolo, altri starnutivano senza malizia
e la canzone andave elegante, l'orchestra era partita, decollava...
i musicisti, un tutt'uno col soffitto e il pavimento,
solo il batterista nell'ombra guardava con sguardi cattivi...
quei due danzavano bravi, una nuova cassiera sostituiva la prima,
questa qui aveva occhi da lupa e masticava caramelle alescane,
quella musica continuava, era una canzone che diceva e non diceva,
l'orchestra si dondolava come un palmizio davanti a un mare
venerato...
quei due sapevano a memoria dove volevano arrivare...
un quinto personaggio esito`
prima di sternutire,
poi si rifugio` nel nulla...
era un mondo adulto,
si sbagliava da professionisti...
