It´s only madmen <br />who climb to the slag heaps <br />to look at the horizon. <br /> <br />I am waiting for this door to open. <br />I want to play chess. <br /> <br />How could that <br />hunchbacked swordsman <br />write this beautiful poem? <br />'That' is a miracle. <br /> <br />Is it true that Dido, <br />Queen of Carthage, <br />commited suicide <br />for that bum? <br /> <br />Why are those <br />beautiful stories <br />so sad? <br /> <br />What does he mean <br />when he says <br />“Can´t you see <br />there is no room for that, <br />it doesn´t follow”? <br /> <br />“The dark dogs in Hades <br /> keep the gates <br />into the kingdom <br />of the dead” <br />That´s a good sentence <br />to analyse. <br /> <br />Ginger ladies shouldn´t announce death, <br />it cannot be true, can it? <br /> <br />He was like a buffalo <br />running to us on the plain... <br /> <br />You have to hold your position, <br />don´t you see <br />they´ll get a fastbreak <br />and win? <br /> <br />Let me throw away your cigarrette, <br />you´re going to vanish <br />and then <br />who will decipher the poems <br />for us? <br /> <br />- Teacher..... <br />- Tell me, little cricket....<br /><br />Luis Gil de la Puente<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-mockingbirds-revisited/
