december

Azon tűnődöm,

átkarol-e valaki éjjel.

Tűnődöm, míg eszembe nem jut,

hogy nincs jogom tudni,

gondolsz-e rám a kávészünetben,

amikor egy Coelho-közhelyet olvasol

a lelki társakról,

továbblapozol nevetve, vagy

egy pillanatra ott vagy újra.

S ha véletlen egyszerre

visszalépnénk a múltba,

biccentenének-e kísérteteink

egymásnak a folyosón,

vagy úgy tennénk,

mintha egyikünk sem venné észre

hirtelen, milyen ismerős érzés

idegennek lenni a világban.

A szoba szorongatott,

nagy ívben betörtem az ablakot.

A cserepek visszahullottak

a mértékre, a szépre –

szabálytalanra szabdalva

This is Po from Kung Fu Panda.

He is literally an overweight

Fanboy

Who works at a fast food restaurant

With the worst luck

Ever

And yet becomes

This badass

Dragon Warrior

Who still acts

Like

Himself

Who still hates hiking

And stairs

He uses his fat

To his advantage

And doesn’t let

His tragic past

Define him
