Step-by-step guide

Homem Andando — Ernesto di Fiori (1937)

first you
put her in a deep illu­sion
with fake pro­mi­ses,
             but should
take a lit­tle care too,
otherwise she will
sus­pect of you.

build a net of lies,
take her to that point
where she lies
bene­ath your feet
             and then
go further a lit­tle bit.

say you love her
             — even if you don’t —
act like a dog
jog­ging your­self out like
a prince-frog.

so if she
asks you for the truth,
don’t be shy
             and lie again
— once more wouldn’t take to
that hell of con­ci­ense, would it?

finally, act like a pig
             and dig
your own grave
             then
jig inside
and stay there alone
             and alive.

now that it’s all done
and you’ve lear­ned how
to be a per­fect coward,
             just rest in peace
in your life’s backyard.
