opposite the Foreign Language Institute,
a little grass-plot where students
gather and smoke cigarettes during the breaks -
after lectures the plot is piled
with dirty ugly stubs.
recently, I chanced to walk by
and was amazed by the beauty of dandelions -
they covered the plot with little exact suns.
What colour! what exactness of form!
I wonder, what exactness of translation
those students will have been taught…
