Oosterse Wijsheid Moderne Vertaling

Poep aan je schoen
Soms moet je 't ermee doen






(Waarschuwing: dit is diepe shit.)

Goatest of all Time

Watch out when someone is trying to get your goat:

she or he will try to do this as secretive as is possible,
so there will be no warning up ahead, until it is too late.

The hardest scenario is when the person trying to get your goat
is you: be prepared to acknowledge that you are
trying to steal from yourself:
see how this is ridiculous, but also see that,
even though you've gotten the goat from your self,
you still kind of lost it as well.


In other news: what about the word culture? Shall we then speak about what culture as a word might imply to be, or should we uncover the fact that everything that's cultural has a verbal component; in other words, that word culture is not just a branch of culture, but an intrinsic property of culture? -In which case, word culture would be a pleonasm.

"what poem?"

Internet is a blessing in disguise; looking up Sylvia Plath's poem Getting There, one can find poems of a new generation, disguised as simple comments underneath the poem itself. I took the liberty to re-transfigure one particular comment into the brilliant poem that it obviously should be:

I only read the last two lines;

Lethe is some underground

 - place in mythology,

where there is a river & if one drinks from it,
one will forget something
or something.

quite amazing really,
seeing that babies
probably don't have memories.

Thank you, Steffani from Australia, for your words.
