Do I contradict myself?
Very well then, I contradict myself.
I am large, I contain multitudes.

Μου έγλειψε τα χείλια, χασκογέλασε και παραπάτησε.
"Θα χορέψουμε;" με ρώτησε.
"Δε μπορείς να σταθείς." της είπα.
Ξεφώνισε βρισιές και βάρεσε το χέρι της στον τοίχο.
Πήγε πίσω δυο - τρία βήματα, μόρφασε.
"Πονάει;"
"Δεν πονάει. Όχι. Είναι ευφραντικό.
Τώρα ένας κόσμος αίμα κάτω απ'το δέρμα

γιορτάζει.
Μια γαμημένη ευτυχία!"

And let me ask you another question
is the theory of uniformitarianism
which means that nothing in what happens but
happened in the past
could have happened if it doesn't happen today
on this is built the modern geology
on this is built the modern astronomy
on this is built
the modern
biology and theory of evolution
and so
it is
only
wishful thinking
that we are living in a safe
never perdurable
solar system?

You were her shadow, you were her sun
but you can't trust them, 'cause they'll leave you when the day is done.

"I hope we are not witnesses to something unspeakable."
