The poet

They tried. That’s what they all did.

I am not like you, fortunately.

I am small, little and trained.

By the best coach, you will never touch.

I am flat and so, I could remain, there

for 15 or 30 minutes, under the shelter of crystal.

I am the prince, princess and king of queens

and after that, I was in a hurry, for school.

No one is there, no more, in that room.

Strange.

The fisher woman became finally a poet.

The legend lives on and on, without being told.

I am not there, at Sibiu, for high levels in your underwear;

great perspective by your own selfish empty bank account.

Old disgusting men feel no future in hairs of young children.

In the name of transgender and other religions.

I was not invited, on purpose by the great universities

of coldness and no direction by conferences of apples

and pears. Keep selling cards by UNICEF, keep up the good works!

But you do not have a birthday card on my personal day.

I was not listening. To people who are addicted

to addiction of old structures by destruction.

It is not exactly my choice.
