Great Preparations
                               

Unqestionable are the holes in the ozone layer.
Tomorrow's day, too, is, to a good extent, unqestionable.
The printing of this poem, weekly results
of matches of the Primera Division, a handful of small
and large events – they're for sure unqestionable. At least as much
as the smell of coffee and the colour of my jacket.
Profane things possess a special certainty,
the kind we usually don't pay attention to.
Here I have always especially respected a number
of side-certaintes. It is unqestionable that little Georgie
had skillfully grappled with English.
Rotation of Earth is, probably, unqestionable.
And then, many place names, our names
and driving along dusty roads. We need to talk
only of unquestionable things. Thing not praised
by poets. Fear of happiness is certain,
death – most certain. Lonely people know this
- at receptions, in cold hotel rooms
and automobiles. Contemporarires of Martin Heidegger.
