I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers
teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us.
We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.
Umberto Eco, Foucoult’s Pendulum
LIFE
Living on road, once a week.
Inhabiting Dad’s kitchen.
Food for two with leftovers.
Every subject chewed o’er

Umberto Boccioni loved to sketch
many a lira did they fetch
Died following a Cavalry horse fall
changing genres a unique artistic call

The futurist artist Umberto Boccioni
tried to capture movement-an impossibility
nevertheless with atmosphere
on a flat surface made a flicker appear*

will Umberto be allowed to marry
will Pillar not cause interference
for such happenings
wll see find people to make script against her
unloved brother
that she might get his checks
stay tuned sports fans
the family will not follow the teaching of tolinfar
they will see that he is unloved and despised
they will not let the rules of marriage cause him to marry
but they will allow those undoings of wrong
to make sure he never marries
she makes him a hero
that he shall fight against her and her wants of him
those who observe these people
shall speak of him as someone who should be
that he may never because of her undoings

they labeled him as such
and taught him to
do what had been done.
then they made him responsible for
what was done
without feeling sorry for
creating the character
that acted out what had happened.
spoke Pillar of her Son.
which has been done will never
be undone.
they casted the script and created the concern
found audience
and made such things so.
they stand together and speak
each result.she spoke of one woman saying,
might this be a lesson for those
who believe in togetherness and love.
might they see then, that those
who are together might be bounded
by wickness, so that there ways are covered up
(interupting) Umberto stand s to speak...
umberto).....sample the need for reality, that those who are greedy might
dine. than those who are less fortunate might have the crumbs of those
who could afford. demeaning those who's efforts spoke for their own concerns, lacking the passion for those who labor.

At home in the country his best lessons were taught.
From planting the olive tree to pressing the oil;
His love was delicate and pure like a virgin olive oil drizzled over home made bread.
The beauty you woke to each morning was a direct reflection of himself.
His love for the country side was the same love he had for you.
Remember those November days the closiness you felt with him.
How proud he was in those moments.
He may be gone now but with each olive that grows
Remember those times together and share those memories with your children.
Creating a perfect oil takes great care and love.
That is and always will be what he pours into you each and every day.

Erster am Südpol
Geheimer Wettlauf mit Scott
Im ewigen Eis
Auf Rettungsflug für Nobile
Verschollen im Eismeer

First at the South Pole
In a secret race with Scott
In the eternal ice
On a rescue flight for Nobile
Missing over the Arctic Ocean

En carrera secreto con Scott
En los hielos eternos
En vuelo savamento a Nobile
Desaparecido sobre el océano Ártico
