Invece il cento c'è di Loris Malaguzzi

Dedicato ad un amico prezioso...

Instead there is a hundred

The child
is made of a hundred.
The child
hundred languages
hundred hands
one hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
play and talk
Always one hundred one hundred
ways of listening
to love to surprise
one hundred joys
to sing and understand
one hundred worlds
discover
one hundred worlds
to invent
one hundred worlds
to dream.
The child
hundred languages
(and then one hundred one hundred percent)
but him steal ninety-nine.
School and culture
separating the head from the body.
They replied
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not talk
to understand without joy
to love and to marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They replied
discover the world already there
and a hundred
him steal ninety-nine.
They replied
the game and work
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
heaven and earth
reason and dream
are things
that they are not together. Tell short
that one hundred is not there.
The child says:
Instead hundred there.
