【¡Viva el amor libre!
に触発】自由万歳!の詩作

  久留米の老舗スペイン料理店  「EL BARCO」  にて極上のランチを堪能。  ふと横の壁の「詩句」に目が行く。  マスターに意味を尋ねると、「万歳、愛、自由ー。あとはお調べください」だった。  帰宅して、コンピューターに聞いてみると、はは! 驚きと笑いの答え。この詩句をもとに詩作したのが、『¡Viva lo escondido!
〜隠されたもの、万歳!』  日本語字幕版もあるので、笑っていただけたら、さいわい!  I enjoyed an exquisite lunch at EL BARCO, a Spanish restaurant in Kurume.      Then my eyes happened to fall on a “verse” written on the wall beside me.     When I asked the owner what it meant, he said, “Long live, love, freedom… As for the rest, please look it up.”     After I got home, I asked my computer about it — ha! The answer was both surprising and hilarious. The poem I wrote based on that verse is: ¡Viva lo escondido! — Long Live the Hidden!   Please enjoy the original video or one with English subtitles / CC.

poem & reading by POETAQ


Drink too much, and you’ll be Royal.

You’ll make speeches like a hero, even though you’re an idiot.

And you’ll push the privileged button.

It’ll destroy your friends and also yourself.—The weapon!


Drink too much, and you’ll be a princess on the throne.

Feeling like a patron of the salon, treat men like pawns.

Then keep an eye on where they go.

Let flatterers be followed, and traitors be killed off.

  

Drink too much, and you’ll be “Godot.”

You won’t even know if you’re coming or not.

You make no difference between fiction and fact.

3D and AI - what a wonderful world.


Drink too much, and you’re a genius.

Good will turn to evil and evil to good.

Angels turn into devils, and devils turn into angels.

In other words, you’ll go up to hell.


Drank too much!
