« The world was made
in very little time,
amid great quarrels,
and only at the last
moment was it decided,
out of mistrust,
to institute death and to split up the sexes. »

Dust, by Carlo Bordini.
« I will always be a bit less than what I am,
much less even. Dust. I have lost much.
What one has lost cannot be regained, and if one does regain it
it will by then have become scattered, no longer fit into the prearranged order
of things. »

There is something obscene, by Carlo Bordini.
« There is something obscene in others’ dreams

Gestures, by Carlo Bordini.
« Persons whose wrong gestures tremble
a bit
Persons whose wrong gestures. There are persons
for whom
to make gestures is an extremely
difficult thing. They try and
retry their
wrong gestures, and when one works it seems they all
work, but the longest
queue is that of wrong
gestures, [what
an interminable queue!! »
Carlo Bordini
