as for the video, when I say I translated it 'suddenly' I mean extemporaneously, or impromptu, on the spur of the moment, without revising the-drift of the-first draft, just as it came, and as a kind of a context, when Petri says 'I'm going to die', he is not rhetorical, he suffered from throat cancer of which he died at the age of 56 (in 2000), this poem is from his last volume of poetry titled 'Amíg lehet' which roughly translates 'as long as it's possible'

actually, when listening substitute 'mild vertigo' for 'breezy ease' (that's more accurate)

I tag,

Thank YOU for sharing this. I always enjoy poetry I haven't heard before. I can see why you ike this poet. In this poem he was very awake to his sorroundings. Something we all could use a bit more of at times. "The angel is in the details" I like that very much : )

@ICharmaine Irma, consider yourself tagged, I should've thought of you, as for Petri: what I partly like in him is his coarse eloquence and insistence on the concrete (the former of which is nearly untranslatable)

@bikemessenger7

there was a young creature from space

who entered a three-legged race

he was not very fast

in fact he came last

because he was a bag of oven-ready chips
