80) Someone is Cancelling Me

       Wolran Kim

Someone is cancelling me very respectfully

Don’t need to be ashamed because no one realizes

The cancellation of my past is an open secret like an illegal poster

Don’t need to wait to be classified any more

 

I am

A promise that is never kept

A contract that is never destroyed

A word that is never responsible

An application that is never accepted

A legend that cannot be orally transmitted

An unsucceedable convention that never succeeds

A revolution that never accomplishes

A building that is never allowed to be built

An evidence that is never chosen

A drought that is never relieved

A continuous rain that is never stopped

A dogma that is never accepted

A tagger who has numb feet forever

A password that is never decoded

A prisoner who is never released

A target that is never hit

A bowstring that is never stretched

An image that is never drawn

A concept that is never induced

A myth that never wears the body

A task that is never done

An opinion that is never suggested

A thesis that is never published

An idea that is never announced

A foreign language that is never translated

A treaty that is never concluded

A true character that is never shown

A theory that is never performed

A dispute that is never issued

A regret that is never forgotten

A tumor that is never recovered

A chronic disease that is never cured

A production that is never sold

An egg of ego that is never hatched

An antinomy that is never dissolved

The spring water that is never filled

A prophet who is never recognized

A dilemma that is never solved

A fossil that is never excavated

 

I, as this much, today

 

Hush, be quiet!

Someone is cancelling me very peacefully

The sound of rustling from papers

A ballpoint pen is turning like eyeballs in someone’s hands
