No monster around... :(

When you wish upon a star.....

I wanna go to Disneyland!!!

Commendable Modernist Poetry 2

I'd rather be the dust of the road
And trampled on by the feet of the poor...

I'd rather be the rivers that flow
And have washerwoman along my shore...

I'd rather be the poplars next to the river
With only sky above and the water below...

I'd rather be the miller's donkey
And have him beat me and care for me...

Rather this than to go through life
Always looking back and feeling regret...

Commendable modernist poetry 1

I'm Sorry I Don't Respond

I'm sorry I don't respond
But it isn't, after all, my fault
That I don't correspond
To the other you loved in me.

Each of us in many persons
To me I'm who I think I am,
But others see me differently
And are equally mistaken.

Don't dream me into someone else
But leave me alone, in peace!
If I don't want to find myself,
Should I want others to find me?

-26 January 1930
