Lost in translation
I lent you a book
shared some knowledge
you made promises
promises to be broken
I struggle with such interaction
I am told it is this age
nothing can be taken for granted
so nothings changed
life is fragile
we who grew up in a certain time
know that
have always known that
nothing can be taken at face value
nothing can be taken for granted
yet I listen to fools
who are taken seriously
facts mean nothing
it’s just your opinion
and if you shout louder
fact means nothing.
I leant you a book
that meant something to me.
Tribute to Eva Hoffman.
