Poem by Kiki Dimoula
REPORT
Draw two columns
one for the day’s gains
and one for its losses
the serious concepts
your bright thoughts and readings
your from side to side
unsparing passages
mark on the column of the gains
the daydreams
with their little chasms
the easy jumps of your imagination
for all these tricks against your boredom
I don’t know, don’t rush
perhaps you may need tomorrow’s column of gains
but all this day that has passed
don’t fool yourselves and don’t forget
to write it under the column of the great
losses
