hmmmm......translate that....
Joy is to poetry
situated as close
to Shunitville as
rhyme or religion
Other than disparagement of same
is as untranslatable
as Leopardi but
for a different reason
Joy won't lend itself
to sultry, mysterious
ambiance
Angst has a better record
even if it is overplayed
...and dreary doom dices
nicely for the modern chef
Salads contain variety
am I contained in your subset
table designed for two?
I like the doom-splicing chef. Modern life does often reduce us to cubicles it feels like.
