Meri-Loquizing In An Illusionteque
Meri Nigro

A series of seemingly unrelated sensations, connected by a thread fluctuating between prose and poetry. ”Meri-loquizing in a toyteque” is a collection of pictures taken with the pen: a little trip into the complexity of the simplest feelings.

In this work, the author wants to emphasize a series of sensations seemingly unrelated, connected by a thread oscillating between prose and poetry. ”Meri-loquizing in a toyteque” is a collection of pictures taken with the pen. Right from the title it is clear the presence of a number of puns attempting to explain the complexity of the simplest feelings. The Toyteque is an imaginary place where you entertain illusions with thought games. ”Poems” and ”Meriloquies” alternate in this place to breathe life into a little trip ending with a story in which is revealed (who knows? To the reader the freedom to decide) perhaps the main character of each of those pictures.

1.Repairs

It broke.

Fix it, then!

What should I fix? How? By what means?

You need two main tools: time and patience.

Then, the glue is called Patience and the order of pieces iscalled Time?

Let's say yes.

No, it can't be done this time.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Still with this stupid story?

If you want to fix something broken, take time and patienceand put the pieces back together, right?

No: If you are missing parts you can no longer doit.

I didn't think about it.

You don't think enough.

You think too much, however.

And there are also those who do not think at all! Youknow?

Oh, yes! - Those living certainly a thousand times better, Itell you.

They live, yes, but they never are.

Why? Or isn't living being, is it?

No, it isn't. You never know how many people live withoutbeing.

But if "they are there" how do they not "be"?

Being there is not always being. The difference is exactlyin that "there".

And will they die like that, without having everbeen?

Yes, probably they will die as well. But if it's true thatthey've never been, actually it's more like they would not die atall, now that I think about it.

I told you: You think too much.

[If you could know the extent of the destruction before theconstruction, everything would be fairer]

2.Carnevale

Briciole di arcobaleni di carta

come fiocchi precipitano lievi

a coprir come neve asfalti nudi
