The Kiss
“I saw you take his kiss!” “’Tis true.”
“O, modesty!” “’Twas strictly kept:
“He thought me asleep; at least, I knew
“He thought I thought he thought I slept.”
(Coventry Patmore, 1823~1896)
키스
“그가너한테키스하는거봤어.” “그랬지.”
“어머, 내숭좀봐.” “하지만잘못된건없어.
그가 {내가 (그가내가잠들었다고생각한다고) 생각하고있다고}
그사람은내가잠든줄알았거든. 아니, 적어도나는알고있었지.
생각했었다는걸말야.”

WHEN DO WE BECOME
REFLECTIVE?
밥만잘먹더라Even if love leaves me,
even if my heart bruised
It was only for a
moment,
I was able to eat well
It’s not like I’m dying
I was able to eat well
사랑이떠나가도
가슴에멍이들어도
한순간뿐이더라
밥만잘먹더라
죽는것도아니더라
ONE does not try to
Philosophize
