She reads a lot.
\nIn buses and in trains,
\nin bed and on the couch,
\nwhile eating and even walking,
\nat all the times of day and night.<\/p>\n
Another – writes, restlessly,
\nespecially at night.
\nBoth prose and poetry, in all their forms.
\nPrefers the pen, but clicks away
\non keyboard, if scribbled notes before.<\/p>\n
She cooks.
\nWith pleasure and with skill,
\nprecision and experimentation,
\nforever looking to improve
\non taste and visual perception.<\/p>\n
Another – eats,
\nenjoying every bite,
\nyet rating it. Expecting nothing
\nless than perfect of the chef.<\/p>\n
She cries,
\nthough not at happy endings,
\nbut at uncertainties, injustices,
\nat loss of beauty
\nin the world.<\/p>\n
Another – laughs,
\nat silly little things,
\nat great achievements
\n(no, no, out of pleasure!
\nout of shared happiness)
\nand at herself.<\/p>\n
They’re different,
\nand there’s so many more
\nthat I dare not all list at once.
\nMake no mistake,
\nI know them all,
\ntoo well, yet none at all.<\/p>\n
They’re all together,
\nnot alone,
\nwithin myself,
\nfor they’re all me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
