Gustavo Adolfo Garcés
Difficulties of Poetry
The idea wasto drink a bit
to be cheerful
but we got much
too drunk
and what we did
was to have too high
an opinion
of ourselves

Dificultades de la poesía
La idea erabeber un poco
ponernos alegres
pero nos emborrachamos
en exceso
y lo que hicimos
fue tener una opinión
demasiado buena
de nosotros mismos
