"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

L’istinto omicida

Ho l’istinto di uccidere uccidere uccidere.
<seguono urla sadiche e sanguinarie>

Spaccare la testa, aprirla per vedere che cosa c’è dentro.
O meglio, per verificare che dentro non c’è niente.

Non serve a niente dirmi che sono indispensabile, adesso: avresti dovuti pensarci prima e tributarmi il rispetto che merito, la considerazione che esigo, la fiducia che dovevi. Il tempo della sopportazione è finito. Ora che le vacche mi hanno fatto scappare dalla stalla, amico, chiudi pure la porta.

Oggi di legnate ce n’è per tutti, la causa dell’arrabbiatura non mi basta: tornate a casa nani, levatevi davanti, per la mia rabbia enorme mi servono giganti.
