FISH – crossing the unconscious
we are the fish that float under water
we are curious and determined to begin to swim in the primordial waters of our subconscious to try to make it a little more conscious
we’re the ones who start asking questions
we’re the poor losers, living under water and seeing everything through a filter who knows how many things we are not yet aware of who knows how many real things are instead only dreams
who knows how many dreams could be even real
who knows if an underwater fish can see the clouds in the sky
or how he sees them
or what he thinks they look like
we are a fish that starts to interrogate himself for the first time
living in those waters that used to be our home, 5 billion years ago
and they protected us
and pampered us
and as then, we said, like total morons, why don’t we give a look to
what’s out there?
shall we go discovering the world?
All right, Piera, let’s go
let’s go let’s go…..
there are all kinds of fish
goldfish, that unfortunately, spin around in a water bubble without knowing anything about the endless sea
fighting fish, amazing tiny creatures that charm our eyes with their beauty with huge fins that, winding and elegant, play with water and destroy and gobble up any other being around them
it’s the only rooster in the hen-house
there’s no space for the others
it fights for its place
Koi Carp
the famous Japanese one
The one that has a red spot in the middle of its forehead and you can distinguish from the others
that spot is koi
the sign of its diversity and power
only the koi carp can turn into a dragon and conquer eternal life and thousands of magical powers
and do you know how a tiny carp with a tiny stamp on its head can become a strong dragon?
jumping
it must be so strong to be able to jump from the lower part of the fall to the upper part
and do you know how many times it doesn’t make it?
and tries again
and falls back down
and jumps again
and again
it’s the only one who can become a dragon
but only if it jumps and jumps again and again
and do you know what’s cool about it? it doesn’t look at itself in the mirror
it doesn’t see its forehead
it doesn’t know it has the stamp of special carps
it doesn’t know it can become a dragon
and from this we can see who’s got balls
who’s strong enough to jump again and again without knowing to be special
and finally, the story of Venus and Cupid
Goddess Of Beauty And God Of Love
mother and son
in an ordinary day, they were in Olympus with the Gods, having a council meeting
and Typhon – pissed off because the Gods had won the Gigantomachy killing his friends, the Giants – comes to Olympus and wants to kill them all
and so the Gods – taken aback – run away and transform themselves into any kind of animal to disguise within the world and cover their tracks
Venus and Cupid turn into fish and dive in the Euphrates
and in order to stay together, they braid their tails and face together the wild waters of the river
a shiny image of how the unity of the family can avoid Typhon, Giants, and Titans
with love, but always irreverent
