"Between the computer, a pencil, and a typewriter" - Adam Zagajewski
Translated by Clare Cavanagh; Self Portrait... https://readalittlepoetry.com/2005/0...am-zagajewski/
Loved this self portrait. Very up to date. Some interesting images: "Black birds pace the fields,/waiting patiently like Spanish widows."
"can be enough to make you look up"."Any Common Desolation" by Ellen Bass
https://readalittlepoetry.com/2021/0...by-ellen-bass/
Very evocative images! "The ruby neon of the liquor store sign." reminds me of my first job while in high school circa 1971 employed at a local liquor store. One of my jobs was to change the outdoor/roof display for what was on sale in large letters/numbers and one day the owner asked me to put "(my name) works here" as the sole message. I have a slide (remember those?) still somewhere of a photo taken... kinda silly I guess. Can't relate to the ending lines including "a needle slipped into your vein" but it says something about the protagonist's environment.... Enjoyed !
"Deeply morbid deeply morbid was the girl who typed the letters" - Stevie Smith; Deeply Morbid... https://allpoetry.com/Deeply-Morbid
It seems that your employer was making you a homage. Probably your arrangements were imaginative and attractive.
Deeply morbid is not so deeply morbid, because saved by art and playful repetition.

"Jump jump jump Jump away" - Kate Greenaway; The Little Jumping Girls... https://allpoetry.com/The-Little-Jumping-Girls
BB: Yes it was crowned by the Nazi period. One anecdote my father told about the hyperinflation. His family lived in a rented house. My grandfather used to send the money of the rent per post. At a certain point he started to bring the money personally to his landlord. The stamp had become more expensive than the rent itself.
Enjoyed this charming Victorian jumping poem and the subsequent analysis. The author seems to have had a lot of empathy about how children feel and think.
