Resenhas - The People Look Like Flowers At Last

Adriana Scarpin 20/07/2015

the creation coffin
the ability to suffer and endure -
that's nobility, friend -
the ability to suffer and endure
for an idea, a feeling, a way -
the ability to suffer and endure
that's art, my friend -
the ability to suffer and endure
when a love ends -
that's hell, old friend...
nobility, art and hell,
let's talk about art a while:

promulgation of my attitudes
like stilts walking centuries
beeswax for brains
destiny is my crippled daughter
look here, it's difficult
me against them
with them
Kafka let me in
Hemingway beware
Hegel you're funny
Cervantes you mean you wrote that
novel at the age of
80?

writers are indecent people
they live unfairly
saving the main part for paper

jesus christ would have been
a duller writer than Theodore Dreiser
jesus christ would have been a
very lousy writer

the beard and hair fit
but he was too good at
conversations and
miracles

a good human being may save the world
so the bastards can keep creating art
if you read this after I am long dead
it means I made it
and
it's your turn now
to misuse your wife
abuse your children
love thyself
live off the funds of others
dislike all art created before and
during your time,
and dislike or even hate humanity
singly or en mass

bastard, if you read this after I am long dead
shove me out of here. I
probably wasn't that
good.
