LECTIA
DESPRE CUB
Se
ia o bucata de piatra,
se
ciopleste cu o dalta de sange,
se
lustruieste cu ochiul lui Homer,
se
razuieste cu raze,
pana
cubul iese perfect.
Dupa
aceea se saruta de nenumarate ori cubul
cu
gura ta, cu gura altora
si
mai ales cu gura infantei.
Dupa
aceea se ia un ciocan
si
brusc se farama un colt de-al cubului.
Toti,
dar absolut toti zice-vor:
--
Ce cub perfect ar fi fost acesta
de
n-ar fi avut un colt sfaramat!
The Lesson
About The Cube
It takes a piece
of stone,
it carves with a chisel
of blood,
it polishes with the
eye of Homer,
it tenders with raybeams
until the cube comes
out perfect.
After that it kisses
by an uncountable number of times the cube
with your own mouth,
with somebody else's mouth
and especially with
Infanta's mouth.
After that it takes
a hammer
and it suddenly smashes
one corner of the cube.
All, but absolutely
all will be saying,
"What a perfect cube
would have been this one
if it hadn't had a
smashed corner!"
