Like a student who teaches,
An illiterate poet,
I'm a sinner who preaches.
Tell me, why would I know it?
This is just a collection
Of examples and training.
No attempt to perfection;
Playing games, entertaining.
Yes, the problem is clear:
What does «poem» imply?
It is dear, fear and near,
An I-dentify-try,
An emotion, a thought,
Caught in letters and lines,
Living in a blind spot
Between ambush and mines.
If «a poem» = «me»,
There's no lesson in here.
But it's «you» you should see
And that's much to endear.
