MANIFESTO 09
Andre da Loba

What? My work?
My work will always be about you
and about me!...


about anarchists,
fortune-tellers,
fleeing kings
blasphemers and mutineers.


Also about fire starters,
and threatened witches.
And luminaries and other artists.
Thieves, (those poets),
biologists and sexologists.


First-grade teachers married with journalists
and the priests that became atheists.


Poets and wall painters,
but not as much as it is about
tall dwarves,
black cats,
color visionaries
and survivors from shipwrecks.


People with odd limps,
dust in road humps,
Light-bulbs changers,
professional vagabonds,
perfect stammers,
and spontaneous mutes.


It is about looking and seeing and seeing and looking (for).
It is about being secretly,
secretly happy.
