Been reading poems on an iPhone lately, and it works.
Never thought I'd like it, but there's something about holding the poem in the palm of your hand.
There's only a few lines visible at a time.
This causes a kind of focus I don't get when reading from a book.
Maybe its just me.
Anyway, one day when my disappointment with my co-workers was nagging me more than usual. (I mean why do so many sub-IQs end up as bosses...) I came across this line (on my iPhone) which was not what I was expecting from Buk.
I just wasn't expecting it from a Buk-poem.
But, of course, the misanthropy thing is just one side of Buk's poems.
Being disgusted with mankind and life also means you have great expectations of men and life.
By the way: there's a carbon copy of the original poem here: head for the vault
PS: JM has put his mark on this one as well...

And believe it or not, something like that was what I needed.yes,
the real miracles are the thousands of tiny
people who know exactly what they are doing.
