Here's a Cavalli poem that didn't make it into the portfolio, from her most recent collection: Grave and determined each morning after my disastrous night games I review the lesson with grim zeal— the lesson of fate and of destiny. But why don’t I learn? It’s all so clear! Just yesterday they offered me a chance. But how is it that these two entities always have something to teach, and why to me? Their exhausting pedagogical industry, their exaggerated dedication— to me? Well, I can’t believe it, but if it’s true let them leave me in peace, I’m not cut out for going to school. I simply didn’t want to be alone. Good post. Here’s a Cavalli poem that didn’t make it into the portfolio, from her most recent collection:
Grave and determined each morning
after my disastrous night games
I review the lesson with grim zeal—
the lesson of fate and of destiny.
But why don’t I learn? It’s all so clear!
Just yesterday they offered me a chance.
But how is it that these two entities
always have something to teach,
and why to me? Their exhausting pedagogical
industry, their exaggerated dedication—
to me? Well, I can’t believe it, but if it’s true
let them leave me in peace,
I’m not cut out for going to school.
I simply didn’t want to be alone.
