The metaphor in Tajana Kovics' poem "Text Message" has sufficient meaning to me. Kovics is referring to a person he loves. Even though this person seems perfect, his love is not enough for them to be together. Instead of him wanting to spend more time with the person he loves, he wants to spend little to no time with them. This paradox is extremely self-contradictory because love suppose to bring people closer together. I can relate to this because there are certain things that I really enjoy, but at the same time I have exclude myself from.
"Tech World"
This is my one and only passion,
All I do is study, read, and technology,
Am I really consuming too much of time?
But in this business if you don't use it,
You will surely loose it!
Ouch! I felt this one! I feel like I also struggle with this paradox. It's a trauma response I think. Thanks for sharing, Marcus.
ReplyDeleteThis one I can feel and relate to. I not sure what causes it, but Mr. Drott proposed that it could be trauma. Whatever it may be, we live a contradiction when we exclude ourselves from it, as you said.
