“Pilgrim of Language (Sonnet)
How will you know if you
can speak another language?
If you can curse someone
on impulse without memorizing,
you got the language in your gut.
If you can console someone in pain,
the language nestles in your heart.
No es necessario que hablar guapisimo,
solamente necessario que hablar amable.
All those pedestals of language levels,
a, b, z, and what not, are elitist garbage.
Chase after form,
and you'll miss the soul -
throw yourself into the soul,
and neurons will regrow.
Forget grammar, forget vocabulary,
let the language seep into your bloodstream.
In a world infested with medal-seeking mules,
stand odd, stand ablaze, a drunken pilgrim.”
― Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
