some (anti)poem for an April morning

1 of my fave quotes is from Chilean poet Nicanor Parra: "USA: where liberty is a statue." Parra's known for his poems and "antipoems." Today i was reading some online and enjoyed this one a lot:

Young Poets


Write as you will

In whatever style you like

Too much blood has run under the bridge

To go on believing

That only one road is right.


In poetry everything is permitted.


With only this condition of course,

You have to improve the blank page.
