poesia nas ruas

poesia nas ruas

A poesia não está nas olheiras imorais de Ofélia nem no jardim dos lilases.

A poesia está na vida,nas artérias imensas cheias de gente em todos os sentidos,

nos ascensores constantes,na bicha de automóveis rápidos de todos os feitios e de todas as cores,

nas máquinas da fábrica e nos operários da fábrica e no fumo da fábrica.

A poesia está no grito do rapaz apregoando jornais, no vaivém de milhões de pessoas conversando ou prague jando ou rindo.

Está no riso da loira da tabacaria,vendendo um maço de tabaco e uma caixa de fósforos.

Está nos pulmões de aço cortando o espaço e o mar. A poesia está na doca,

nos braços negros dos carregadores de carvão,no beijo que se trocou no minuto entre o trabalho e o jantar

— e só durou esse minuto.A poesia está em tudo quanto vive, em todo o movimento,

nas rodas do comboio a caminho, a caminho, a caminho de terras sempre mais longe,

nas mãos sem luvas que se estendem para seios sem véus,na angústia da vida.

A poesia está na luta dos homens,está nos olhos abertos para amanhã.

Mário Dionísio

Impossível não cair num dos mais banais clichês ao narrar poeticamente a própria experiência num ambiente urbano marcante e rico de história. Sentimo-nos como se fossemos os únicos a viajar, protagonistas de um cenário que, na realidade, antes de nós, viu passar personalidades mais interessantes. A seguinte coleção fotográfica é incompleta, desordenada e não original. Não é uma tentativa de guia turístico. Quem escreve não é o autor das poesias, a autora das páginas a

seguir é Lisboa. Além do simples fascínio das cidades decadentes ela fala; fala em versos sem ninguém escutar. Lisboa cheira poesia. Manifesta-se através dos seus cenários da forma mais honesta. Sem nenhuma pretensão as imagens convidam a escutar a cidade revelando as suas poesias para quem ainda não as sentiu. A poesia nas ruas pede uma atenção subtil, aquela que é preciso para encontrar as pequenas coisas, onde está a verdadeira essência da beleza.

Impossible not to fall into one of the most banal clichés narratingin, in a poetic way, oneself experience in a noteworthy and rich of history urban set. As if we were the only ones travelling, protagonists of a scenario that, actually, before us, has seen pass more interesting personalities. The following photographic collection is incomplete, disorganized and not original. It is not an attempt of a tour guide. Who writes is not the author of the poetry, the author of the

following pages is Lisbon. Besides the simple charm of decaying cities it speaks; speaks in verse without anyone listening. Lisbon smells poetry. Manifested through its scenarios in the most honest way. Without any pretence the images invite to listen to the city revealing their poems for those who have not felt them yet. Poetry in the streets calls for a subtle attention, that one that takes to find the little things, where lies the true essence of beauty.

The public needs art, and it is the responsibility of a “self-proclaimed artist” to realize the public needs art, and not

to make bourgeois art for a few and ignore the masses...If the public is afraid of art, should we [artists] be afraid of

what we have done to make the public afraid of art?
