Lasciandosi alle spalle la piramide Cestia, i suoi arbusti cresciuti tra le pietre bianche, le mura romane sbreccate che la affiancano e tutto il traffico del piazzale, si può imboccare viale Ostiense. Un tempo gli correva un tram nella corsia centrale, non che io lo ricordi, ma sarebbe stato perfetto per un mio racconto, mi piacciono tanto i tram.

Quotes by Valerio la Martire (?)

“Ognuno di noi è speciale forse per qualche minuto in tutta la propria vita. E alcuni non riescono ad esserlo nemmeno per così poco tempo. Io lo sono stato da bambino. Sono contento di esserlo stato. Ora mi adagio tranquillamente nella massa di umanità inutile e uguale a se stessa, parte di quel tutto che riempie gli spazi vuoti.”
― Valerio La Martire, I ragazzi geisha

“Appena ho aperto la porta di casa il vento gelido e i cristalli di neve mi hanno tagliato la faccia. Tagli secchi e larghi, dagli zigomi fino alla mascella. Era un dolore così eccitante da farmi venire voglia di sanguinare, per leccare il sangue e sentire il sapore di quello che sarebbe successo da quel momento in poi.
Ferro, zucchero e carne.”
― Valerio La Martire, I ragazzi geisha

“Mi sorrise tenendo stretto tra i denti il sigaro quando entrò in casa. Si sedette sulla sedia e mi osservò a lungo senza dire nulla. Mi disse di avvicinarmi. Dopo questo non ricordo altro.”
― Valerio La Martire, I ragazzi geisha
