Alternative Definition for Himeroeis

1) Want to understand me (you can)
2) Let me share with you (don't make me afraid by brash judgment; don't immediately assosciate ideas that I express with me, I am exploring what I don't know; try not to categorize what I say into personality traits)
3) Share you with me; let me be someone to you ('What will survive of us is love')

As I sit here coughing slightly, on call for EMS, after a day of leisure spent not on relaxing. My impression of the real world:
1) Most of the people I've known and know don't even meet (1). Big Oops.
2) Two people I know meet (1).
3) One person I know meets (1) and (2); used to (3)--but no longer.

Without a single person who meets (1)(2)(3), it is rather dull.

Well, I had a poem here, but it's not yet ready. When it will be more ready, I will put it back.

In the mean while, this a wonderful introduction to the Belarusion culture of present and past. So indulge me and enjoy it, and leave your thoughts!

I should mention that I am starting to feel serious about verse in Belarusian.

No, not me (response to TS Eliot)

He sits in a bright room
with damp notion of his impending
futile doom.
Because she sits there too
Beautiful resplendent but not
for you.
Or you, or you, or you--
she just sits there
and you just have to listen.

Edit: One reason this poem is bad is because of redundancy, there are many many others. I leave finding them as an exercise for the reader! :)

it was back in september
i dreamed I ran into her on the street in Berlin
and that she had a shaved head
and when I tapped her on the shoulder
she turned around and didn't recognize me
