A POET ABOUT THE MIGRANT CRISIS

they tell me:

they are dirty they stink they steal they carry guns they have AIDS

they don’t have passports they’ve been convicted they’ve been expelled they grill

ducks on the Una they sell,

they team up with the local mafia they rape and beat

they kill

what did I actually see?

a young man in his twenties how tired I am

leaning against the dirty trolley window

in complete concentration

via a broken mobile screen

is watching a broadcast of a football match
