e.e. cummings - jestem wiecznym żebrakiem






jestem wiecznym żebrakiem

co żebrze w twoim sercu

(nieśmiało uśmiechniętym cierpliwym milczącym

z tabliczką na

piersi

NIEWIDOMY) tak jestem

tym osobnikiem od którego jakoś nigdy

nie możesz się ostatecznie uwolnić ( i który

nie prosi o nic więcej niż

tylko o trochę marzeń aby się utrzymać

przy życiu)

swoją drogą, kochana

mogłabyś bądź co bądź

rzucić mu parę myśli

może nawet maleńką miłość,

coś czego nie możesz

upchnąć komu innemu: na

przykład jakąś

złamaną obietnicę -

może wtedy zacznie ( słysząc że coś

wpadło w jego kapelusz ) szukać tego

błądzącymi palcami; aż znalazłszy

to

co wrzuciłaś

pójdzie

sobie tuptuptup z twojego mózgu, nadziei, życia

aby ( skwapliwie znikając za rogiem

ulicy ) już nigdy ci się nie naprzykrzać


i am a beggar always
who begs in your mind

(slightly smiling, patient, unspeaking
with a sign on his
chest
BLIND)yes i

am this person of whom somehow
you are never wholly rid(and who

does not ask for more than
just enough dreams to
live on)
after all, kid

you might as well
toss him a few thoughts

a little love preferably,
anything which you can't
pass off on other people: for
instance a
plugged promise-

the he will maybe (hearing something
fall into his hat)go wandering
after it with fingers;till having

found
what was thrown away
himself
taptaptaps out of your brain, hopes, life
to(carefully turning a
corner)never bother you any more
