Ave Jeanne Ventresca
Visitando il mio amico n provincia dell’Aquila in Abruzzo
Il mio amico ha l’AIDS
ma sono le facce di
persone che camminano per quello
uccidilo lentamente.
Visiting My Friend in the Province of L’Aquila in Abruzzo
My friend has AIDS
but it is the faces
of
people walking by
that
kill him slowly.
