The crab's
thought (January 2001 - incomplete translation from Italian) What the crab thinks in his hole-garden. |
The Crab's Editorial wasn't ready and somebody suggested
me to put it off this month. But I didn't agree. This page is my Mecca, my
Weeping Wall, my Rome, my Padania, my Jubilee, my Profitis Ilias (this is
often the name of the higest mount in a Greec island). I'm saying so in order
to tell every kind of people how this page is important for me. At the end
this is my hole where I can freely vent me., almost as the slave who had
to shout the truth in a grave that after he filled with ground: the king
Mida has donkey ears! And after some canes grew on that ground and the wind
blowing spread the truth in the world. It's true, I vent me in other ways
too: for example, I use to send my opinions and sometimes my reprimands to
some of my friends in e-mail messages. Someone thinks I exaggerate with this
type of vent. I think I never was churl, even if sometimes I should to curse.
For example, just today, I stamped a dog's dung in a public Garbatella's
Garden where there is a space dedicated to the dogs, where I never go, because
I haven't a dog. I was walking and I was not worry thinking that this garden
is frequented by many children. Who can be so criminal to let his dog defecate
on the path's gravel? Somewhere else, in another time, in a country for instance,
I could not get angry: I could smile thinking of the people belief that a
similar event is lucky. But nowadays too many dog's dungs are spread on the
pavements, so is not a rare event to stump a dog's dung. You can get a lot
of them when you want. When you catch a dog's owner while he lets his dog
defecate on the pavements not having any tool to clean it and you strictly
look at him, he impudently look at you. He is not ashemed! Perhaps he doesn't
know his crime. He perhaps was not aware when he decided to imprison that
poor animal in his small apartment, where it must stay alone many hours yelping
and howling. When the owner goes to his holidays the dog is given to a friend
or to a person who keeps it for payment. But which is the cost for breeding
a dog? If the future dog's owner wouldn't be so irresponsible, he should
estimate 200 $ a mounth at least for a medium size dog, to give it food,
equipment, vaccinations, cleaning. But how can you do it if you earn no more
than 1000 $ a mounth? Are you sure you want a dog when you know that you
have to clean its dungs two times a day during the life of the beast? As
for all the occasions only a rich can afford the luxury to breed a dog, but
I would like he do it far from the public locations. I would like that poor
old people and children can stay in a garden without any trouble and
are not forced to hear the dog's owners shouting to obtain obedience from
their dogs.
If you think it's enough, some boys, with complicity of their parents, make still explode new year petards in the streets. In the little quarter streets a car or a motorbike suddenly comes with a terrible noise, risks to run you down and leaves an irrespirable stench. And even if it's forbidden, in the public places, all people smoke unrestrained on your face. mic.dang@tiscalinet.it mic.dang@libero.it BACK TO THE MENU
