ABC by Wislawa Szymborska
ABC by Wislawa Szymborska An old poem by Wislawa Szymborska, it still finds it relevance even today… ABC I’ll never find out now What A. thought of me. If B. ever forgave me in the end. Why C. pretended everything was fine. What part D. played in E.’s silence. What F. had been expecting, if anything. Why G. forgot when she knew perfectly well. What H. had to hide. What I. wanted to add. If my being around meant anything to J. and K. and the rest of the alphabet.
