Sobre un texte d'en Lawrence Ferlinghetti... L'artista ha d'arriscar sempre, estar al limit de l'acantilat... si no, no val la pena!!!

lyrics

CONSTANTLY RISKING ABSURDITY (#15) by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Constantly risking absurdity and death
whenever he performs above the heads of his audience
the poet like an acrobat climbs on rime
to a high wire of his own making

above, a sea of faces
paces his way
above, to the other side of day

performing entrechats and sleight-of-foot tricks
and other high theatrics and all without mistaking
any thing for what it may not be
For he's the super realist who must perceive taut truth

above, a sea of faces
paces his way
above, to the other side of day

AND HE, A LITTLE CHARLEY CHAPLIN MAN
WHO MAY OR MAY NOT CATCH
HER FAIR ETERNAL FORM
SPREADEAGLED IN THE EMPTY AIR

before the taking of each stance or step
in his supposed advance toward that still higher perch
where Beauty stands and waits with gravity
to start her death defying leap

above, a sea of faces
paces his way
above, to the other side of day

AND HE, A LITTLE CHARLEY CHAPLIN MAN
WHO MAY OR MAY NOT CATCH
HER FAIR ETERNAL FORM
SPREADEAGLED IN THE EMPTY AIR

Spreadeagled in the empty air of existence
