About Me

ABOUT ME

"No todo poema- o para ser exactos: no toda obra construida bajo las leyes del metro- contiene poesía... Un soneto no es poema, sino una forma literaria excepto cuando ese mecanismo retórico- estrofas, metro, rimas- ha sido tocado por la poesía. Hay máquinas de rimar pero no de poetizar. Por otra parte, hay poesía sin poemas, paisajes,personas y hechos suelen ser poéticos: son poesía sin ser poemas."
- Octavio Paz, El arco y la lira

Pretendo ser poema.

(También sé comunicarme en la lengua de señas chilena, pero no está en la lista de idiomas que te dan).

PHILOSOPHY

We are all bricks and construction workers, building each other out of each other and then living within one another for the rest of our life. Through this constant and perpetual interaction, we learn that through absense we better understand presence, that everything has its own finality, and but it is this connectedness that prevails.
