Canvas
it will flow with desire
it will need to be done
your life will depend on it
and yet
the canvas will remain
blank
there’s all the time in the world to fill it
that’s what you tell yourself
Canvas

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
