I won’t be near
by Lorenzo Piccoli
Perhaps it’s the weather or something like that, or maybe it’s about finally leaving Brussels. In these days I definitely over-think crashing in abysses of melancholy. After all this is the fourth city where I come, live, and go. I wonder if there is something I can leave behind for you, my friends, and if you will wait for when we will meet again and get some whiskey together and listen to Shimbalaiê and talk life and philosophy.
As for me, those who left me something will be on my mind as it has always been with the best people I met in Ireland, Spain, and Canada. People can live again in our thoughts and this is part of the wisdom I inherited by thomoose who, as a matter of fact, is very often with me even when he does not know. And you all, sometime you will just pop in my thoughts: even if I won’t be next to you and you know I won’t be near, I’d still be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear as someone who has had you on his mind.
Fratello, ti sento. non so se hai visto avatar ma in quel film del cazzo gli avatar dicono “I see into you”. and I see into you. oggi pomeriggio possiamo farci una chiacchierata, oppure nei prossimi giorni. se vuoi mi trovi in qualche istituto mentale a Hostlebro, chiedi di quello che legge Tarantula di bob dylan.
Ciò che mi auguro – caro Lorenzo – è che la passione per il sapere, la voglia di vivere e l’entusiasmante sete di conoscenza ti seguano in quel di Fiesole.
So già che non sarai solerte come vorrei a rispondere a messaggi e ad email, ma posso già dirti che sei perdonato sin da ora.
Mi spiace che tu te ne vada da Bruxelles, ma sappi che quando vorrai sarai sempre il benvenuto – in quella che, benché per poco – è stata anche casa tua.
Un abbraccio,
robbie
