Brother Inkjet Power Purge

The value shut

Sometimes life gives us lessons strange, that are difficult to assimilate. To me, the most difficult of all is to respond honorably to cynics and liars. Perhaps I too fall into one of these categories, sometimes ... But it is harder for me to respond to aggression. It is almost always unexpected, abrupt and murderer with a taste almost like hemlock for the soul. The first thing that came to mind was Sylvia Plath's poem, "The Courage of Shutting-up." Says it all and more:

The value shut

value mouth shut, despite the artillery! / The pink line and silent a worm, basking in the sun. / H ay black circles behind him the indignity circles, / and indignity of the sky, its crumpled brain. / The circles turn, ask to be heard -

full, as they are reporting falsehoods. / Falsehoods, routines, desertions and ambiguities, / the needle traveling its groove, / silver beast between two dark canyons, / a great surgeon, now does tattoos,
tattooing again and again and repeated the sad injustice, / snakes, children, breast / of sirens and dreamers with its two legs. / The surgeon is quiet, not talking. / has seen too much death, has his hands full of it.

So brain circles revolve, like the mouths of cannons, / and there is the old trimmer, language, tireless violet. Should we cut? / has nine tails, is dangerous. / His voice to flay the air, when put in motion!

No, the language, too, has been cornered, / hanging in the library next to the prints of Rangoon / and the heads of fox, otter heads, the heads of dead rabbits. / is a wonderful object - / the things that has crossed over its lifetime. More

what about the eyes, eyes, eyes? / Mirrors can kill, and speaking are terrible rooms / where torture never stops and one can only look at. / The face that lived in this mirror is the face of a corpse. / not worry about the eyes -

may be white and scary, are not decoys, / their death rays were folded like flags / of a country that no longer have news and / a stubborn independence / useless amidst the mountains.
