Great! Nicanor Parra breathes in these secrets... x-:


JOKES TO MISLEAD THE POLICE


Chile was first and foremost a nation of grammarians
of historians
a nation of poets
now it's a nation of. . .dot dot dot


-

Torture doesn't have to be
bloody
Take an intellectual
for example-
just hide his glasses


-

Birds
are not hens Holy Father
absolute freedom of movement
in the confines of a henhouse



translated by Paul Pines
