This sounds super interesting. And it's funny you bring up Gramsci (sync) as I've been chatting with a friend who recently started reading him. He's been wanting to ponder over that good ole "ethico-political-superstructure," which is always a hoot! Also, I read Pasolini's poem, powerful stuff. "But while I own history, it owns me; it illumines me but what use is such light?" and, "I live in the non-will of the postwar decline: loving the world I hate," and, "It's a cacophony, this life, and those lost in it," amongst so many other quotations and deeper narratives. I can see why this, and Gramsci, were impactful, especially during your twenties. I look forward to your musings...

Thanks so much HONP. It’s a great poem of Pasolini’s and a way of getting to know him and the conflicts he lives through both internally and externally. If you’re into astrology, he was a Pisces aka the fish going in opposite directions. Ironic yes?
