(originally in Greek and Turkish)
man is the measure of everything /this leads me to a notion of an endless riddle about my own fate /
My face, my legs...how do I look like?
a sphinx? a woman? an animal? a mutant? My definition of man is not a riddle. It comes out of my dispair about language...
so many thoughts coming out now / language is my gratest problem / some days seem to pass rather slow now...
