one of the most interesting things about being a poet is that when you
get asked "what do you do for a living" you can answer "I'm a poet"
.. which is like sayng "i do whatever the hell i want" for most people
i always wonder how poetry translations work. i mean: why they do them.
does it make any sense?
if you figure out: why did i write this down? were am i going? where am
i going to? what will i write next? .. either you're in the wrong
century, or you have a future in horoscopes.
