Sideways

To think about the infinity
Is to think of nothing:
Deep and noble meditation.
Impossible!
I am too much of a human being
(and too western)
to think of nothing.

I have a vague notion of what they say about
the Infinity:
I know that they talk about Infinity like this

– vertically;
To live forever,
Universe forever existing.

Maybe for being human,
small and powerless,
I think of Infinity like this

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

A duration that does not seem to last
A sort of happiness too happy to be said
In an extensive joy
(Fell like laughing and dancing with everybody)

Ignoring where I end.

This is the infinity where I am
Gift that I give to myself in
unexpected and unforgettable occasions.

Like when yesterday I opened a can of coke
And listened to Bobby Mc Ferrin.

I like to be infinite sideways.

    My translation!

    To think of infinity
    Is to think of nothing
    Noble profound meditation
    Is impossible

    I’m an too human
    (and too occidental)
    to
    not think of nothing

    I have a vacant notion of the teachings
    about infinity:
    All is always assumed to be
    Like:

    |
    |
    |

    Vertical
    Living forever
    Universe exists forever

    Maybe because im too human
    Tiny like an ant
    Powerless in life
    I think of infinity like:

    —-

    A duration that never lasts (or a Duration that’s not hard)
    Too much happiness to be spoken
    An extensive joy
    (Wanting to laugh and dance with the world)

    In ignorance of where I end

    This infinity where I be
    I gift myself in occations unexpected
    Unforgettable

    Like how yesterday I opened a coke
    and heard Bobby McFerrin
    I like to be infinite sideways

    “I’m an too human” = “I am too human”
