Janík, Pavol: Múdrosť

Chceš urobiť dieru do sveta?
Škoda.
Je tak deravo na svete.
A predsa z neho nič neunikne.

To len teba je čoraz menej.
Ubúda ťa.
Počuješ ten ruch?
Trvá
a niekedy predstiera hovor.

Odpovedáš mu
na otázky,
ktoré mu sám prisudzuješ.

Toľko otázok
a raz toľko odpovedí.

To je tá múdrosť.
Ňou chceš urobiť dieru do sveta.
Škoda.

Len to, čo vieš,
ťa mrzí.

Do you want to make a hole in the world?
To bad.
The world is full of holes.
And yet nothing goes through it.

Only you became smaller.
Decreased.
Do you hear that noise?
It lasts and sometimes
pretends it is a speech.

You answer
the questions
that you asked.

As many questions
that many answers.

That is that wisdom.
With it you like to make a hole in the world.
Too bad.

You suffer only because of
what you know.
