Metropolis


Rikochet

Recommended Posts

Sprawling mass of matter;

Iridescent tubes,

in which sapient thought

flows.

We zoom to the day

[this day]

where we can err

without fear or agony

and laugh upon our mistakes.

Speaking nonsense.

Faces can lie,

and words fly

(I can hear/count

their flutter:

One, two, three.)

"I love thee"

Notice the useless,

archaic expression.

...and a bouquet of roses,

a shower of kisses,

and the sound of three words,

can erase

a lifetime of insecurity.

Αναιρείς το 'useless' factor με το υπόλοιπο του ποιήματος. Ό,τι δουλεύει, δεν είναι useless. Αν δουλεύει είναι καλό για αυτόν για τον οποίο δουλεύει, και πάει λέγοντας.

Καταλαβαίνω το συναίσθημα πάντως, όπως ήδη ξέρεις. Αυτόν τον καιρό κουραστικά καλά. Αλλά δεν μπορεί, θα 'ξεχάσω' σε λίγο - και για λίγο.

Αυτό το κομματάκι είναι ιδιοφυές.
