    About this ebook

    I owe so much to my ROME

    for having found the way

    away from the people and their tyrant.

    It's the homage of the year

    without rhyme or reason

    out of fashion. With a final rhyme

    no bad, as Trilussa


    "ROMA ti smussa". (ROME blunts you)

    Edda Tassi

    La poetessa e scrittrice Italiana Edda Tassi è bilaureata in Lettere a Perugia e Psicologia Clinica a Roma. La terza laurea in Filosofia a Perugia non è stata mai consegnata (con tutti gli esami dati ed una media altissima) in onore dell'autore Francese Michel Foucault. Il Sapere contro il Potere : in questo caso la ribellione di Edda contro la manipolazione facilona di un innovativo autore, morto troppo prematuramente. Il successo internazionale ha regalato Edda al mondo : è il miracolo della Rete , quando è invisibile e può cambiare tutto e tutti , come l'amore. Fuori dal clamore e dalla falsità dei social networks, c'è la Rete del vero lavoro , una Rete silenziosa al servizio

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.

      I know things, I have proof.

      Don’t imagine who I am

      a creature by the software poet.

      We’re the coral reef

      down at the gates of infinity.

      2

      A year ago I loved you.

      Now I don’t love you anymore.

      Who will I love after you?

      I’m on the safari of my adolescence

      free and wild again

      3

      A weightless luminous breath.

      It disappeared into the ocean

      among the sharks

      leaving on the shore

      the legend about a poet

      devoured in the summer.

      Perhaps trasformed into a whale.

      So I fantasized outside the house

      and I was in Spanish Steps.

      4

      The people believe in the prophecy

      of the children must be born

      under the protection

      of the powerful verse.

      The sailors in the midst of the hurricane

      cry out to be saved.

      Here the poet, again

      under the torrid rain

      on the August party.

      5

      If a lively aulet was born

      they hid him for fun.

      If she was an aulet

      she became a vulnerable haruspex

      often exposed to insult and slander.

      But the fortune of the minstrels

      crossed the dark ages

      generating precious children.

      Unknown by fate to the true fathers.

      This has been happening for millennia.

      We’re the singers
