The Poet And The Parrot
One can live in this world anonymously, completely unknown,
without being famous, ambitious, cruel.
Without ever really doing anything.
It’s just a matter of being silent, of not talking about yourself,
of not drawing attention to yourself.
Without even wanting to be known for something.
One can do this for years at a time and then one day hear about
the existence of a parrot that speaks your name.
And you know that there is nothing you can do to stop this.
