L'amore ai tempi del fascismo


Guardare bene dove mettere i piedi
Per non calpestare le righe,
Contare sempre da uno a dieci
Prima di far saltare le dighe
Guardare in alto, a destra, a sinistra,
Come se fosse una cosa importante
Aspettare fumando per più di due ore,
Maledicendo una donna intrigante
E due bonghisti neri
E due carabinieri
Che li guardano come
Se fossero stranieri...
Non è rabbia per niente
E neanche cinismo
E' il cielo di Bologna
Questo, questo è l'amore ai tempi del fascismo.

Farsi scoppiare tutto il tempo tra le mani
Per paura di non riuscire a fare niente
Per ritrovarsi in una specie di domani
Pieno di persone che sembrano "gente",
Mettere in fila dei pensieri colorati
E tenerli insieme con parole di cristallo,
Poi il mio cappotto
Che ha gli angoli slabbrati
E il tuo tramonto che diventa troppo giallo
E due lavavetri polacchi
Che lavano nel niente,
Nei tuoi figli, nelle tue mogli,
Nel tuo respiro indifferente...
Non è rabbia davvero
E nemmeno arrivismo
E' il freddo di Bologna
Questo è l'amore ai tempi del fascismo.

Vedere poi tutti i paesi illuminati
Più dall'orgoglio che dalla luce,
Le case bianche figlie delle colline,
di una piacevole assenza di voce,
In cui andiamo a ricoverarci
Come malati allo stadio terminale
Quei letti bianchi, i pochi ospedali
In cui è possibile almeno stare male
E i due bonghisti neri,
E venti carabinieri
Che battono il piede assorti
Nei loro pensieri...
Non è rabbia per niente
E non è più leninismo
E' il ritmo di Bologna
Questo è l'amore ai tempi del fascismo.

Accarezzare la poesia con le tue dita
Per inghiottire
Lunghi giorni di silenzio,
Riccioli biondi incatenati ad una vita,
Piombo d'argento
In fondo a lacrime d'assenzio...
E due zingari slavi
Costretti dalle chiavi
A chiudere per sempre il violino
Con i suoni che tu amavi
Non è disperazione
E neanche dolore
E' il vento di Bologna,
Questo è il fascismo
Al tempo dell'amore
