Poetry again

Pablo's reply. 


Poetry is good for laughter and forgetting
It's an indecipherable way of communicating
And let's you say all you want to
Without the burden of having to say anything at all

Poetry is good songs without tune
And bad memories turned into good
It's an attempt to not understand the world at all
And yet, interpret it as you will

slowness

these days. i walk out of myself.
and away from him. i stand by the door and watch.
what he has become. the places he goes.
the people he sees. the things he says.
i don't pity him. he is not helpless.
neither do i applaud him. he is not great.
i am indifferent. i leave him to what he is.
as if i don't care. as if he is not me.
