Some - <br />thus not all. Not even the majority of all but the minority. <br />Not counting schools, where one has to, <br />and the poets themselves, <br />there might be two people per thousand. <br /> <br />Like - <br />but one also likes chicken soup with noodles, <br />one likes compliments and the color blue, <br />one likes an old scarf, <br />one likes having the upper hand, <br />one likes stroking a dog. <br /> <br />Poetry - <br />but what is poetry. <br />Many shaky answers <br />have been given to this question. <br />But I don't know and don't know and hold on to it <br />like to a sustaining railing. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated by Regina Grol <br /> <br />Anonymous submission.<br /><br />Wislawa Szymborska<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-like-poetry/
