Magrelli on Graffiti

May 27, 2006

"Graffiti"

Where does this foetal, feral language

come from, with its shimmering

alpha-numerical tags?

Who speaks this spray-on Esperanto

of walls, trams and entry-phones?

What is it telling us

this crackly static tongue

that calls from the deep?

-Valerio Magrelli
