Katharsi
Who could judge ?
We are constantly judged by others
or doubly judged, for we also judge.
Silently. Scared by any evidence.
And what if we decide to do it in high
voice ? To show, to exhibit, to face
ourselves. Or, as Pasolini dared say,
to throw the bowels on the table.
Maybe that way the alien judgement
is frustrated, and ours free.
Katharsis is hypocrisy.
Hipocrite: someone who is
not able to accept what he is.
And finally, an interpreter,
an actor, a mime, an impure.
Or so thought the Greeks.
