DEMOLISHING THE LATEST OR MOST RECENT OF
BARBARIAN SITUATIONS ALL DAILY DISGUST TO BE
OPPRESSED WITHOUT ANY FORM OF CONDOLENCES THE
POWER OF MUHAMMAD ALI'S PEP TALK ADDED TO THE
HEAT OF AN AWOKEN VESUVIUS TRANSPORTED FROM
NAPOLI TO WASHINGTON D.C. ASKING "THE RAGE
AGAINST THE MACHINE" TO BE EXTREMELY THIRSTY THE
GLOBETROTTING NEEDS FOR ENEMY-COCKTAILS SERVED
AT THE SHERRY NETHERLANDS A POPULAR JUDAS-
CLASH WE ALL SUFFER FROM TO FORGET IN PRECIOUS
MOMENTS OF SENSUAL TASTE SIPPING A WILD
CHARDONNAY BARRIQUE OF CHILEAN ORIGIN WITH
FLAVOURS OF VIOLETS MIXED SUBTLE NUTTY AROMAS
OF SMOKY COGNAC-OAK EX BORDEAUX SHIPPED TO MY
DRUNKEN AWARENESS I LET GO IT TUMBLES INTO
TRAVOLTA DISCO MIXED WITH CHICK CORREA AT THE
PIANO ENOUGH OF COMPLEXITY TO REFUSE FUNKY
BUSINESS AT YOUR BOURGEOIS PARTIES WITH SAKE &
SUSHI TASTING DIFFERENT AFTER MIDNIGHT WHEN YOUR
TONGUE FEELS GUIDED BY SURVIVAL MANNERS
RESULTING IN LIQUID GROWTH IN A MORE THAN EVER
COMPETITIVE WORLD WHERE THE PROFESSIONAL
TOKYO-ADVISER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS GETS
INTRODUCED TO TIM BERNERS-LEE AT THE ANNUAL
BLACK & WHITE PARTY ADVISING YOU ON
SHAREHOLDING MUCH EASIER TO BUY ON THE WEB
ALTHOUGH I DO NOT THRUST THAT KIND OF MORPHINE
ENTERING YOUR LIFE WHICH COULD BECOME A PUBLIC
MESS WHEN THE PROBLEMS YOUR COUNSELLOR FEELS
MUST MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND HIS ASSOCIATES ARE
TOO KEEN I PRESUME TO USE YOUR MONEY FOR
PROFANE PROFITS WHATEVER THAT MEANS
REMEMBERING YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS SAID THAT THIS
WOULD INCREASE YOUR TAX-BILL NEVER TO BE PAID BY
THE COMPANY OR THE DEEMED CREDIT YOU BORROW ON
YOUR FUTURE DIVIDENDS WHICH COVERS ALL OF YOUR
HYPOTHETIC INCOME NO LIABILITIES TO BE ASSURED SO
I PRETEND THAT AT SUCH POINT OF CONVERSATION
NOBODY WILL BE OFFERING YOU ANOTHER COUPE OF
KRUGG BUT YOU COUNTER WITH A MARVELOUS EXCUSE
WHEN I HEAR YOU SAY YOU FEEL SLEEPY READY TO
LEAVE BUT NEVER IN COTTON PYJAMAS BUT TONIGHT
BLASTING AWAY ON A FAT HARLEY DAVIDSON DREAMING
OF MARLON BRANDO SLEEPING TIGHTLY IN A TRAMWAY
NAMED DESIRE A PLAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN ON STAGE
BUT READ TENNESSEE WILLIAMS' (SO CALLED)
MASTERPIECE OF WHICH OF COURSE I HAVE BEEN
TOUCHED BY THE MOVIE BUT THAT IS A DIFFERENT
STORY ONLY THANKS TO BRANDO BECAUSE SINCE I WAS
A KID OF COURSE I HAVE
SEEN OTHER INTERPRETATIONS ALSO AT LONDON
THEATRES WHICH NEVER GAVE ME THAT UNIQUE
FEELING OF HOLLYWOOD STYLE I MEAN THE ROBBERY
OF THE PLAYWRIGHTS' ART THE WAY HE IS PUNISHED BY
THE DIRECTOR WHO ON CELLULOID INTERFERES IN OUR
OPINION QUESTIONING OUR CONSCIENCE WITH HIS OWN
ATTITUDE WHICH CAN BE A TRANSFORMATION IN OUR
AWARENESS A SUBJECTIVE RELEVANCE ANOTHER
ANGLE WHICH HELPS US TO REMEMBER THAT TOMATO
SOUP EVEN WHEN EATEN COLD CAN BE NICE BECAUSE I
AM CONVINCED I CAN LIVE WITH GASPACHO IN
MARBELLA NEXT TO THE SWIMMING POOL OF THE HOTEL
PUENTE ROMANO SAVOURING UN BOCADILLO CON
JAMON PATTA NEGRA NOT BAD AT ALL WHEN THE SUN
FEELS WARM THE BLUE WATER IS COOL SO WHETHER
YOU ARE A HEDONIST OR A MAFIOSO NOBODY CARES
ABOUT WHO YOU ARE OR WHAT YOU ARE WEARING AS
ON THE COSTA DEL SOL IT IS ALWAYS SUMMER A
