The Trials of Writing in a Language Awkward Upon Your Tongue...
" 닥쳐 닥쳐 Mr. Doctor
blame it on contaminated wisdom
poorly sanitated injections
gory animated visions
no we can't evade the system
or the virus no survivors
you might as well
just die on us
the iris on the dollar bill's
got a fukin' eye on us
and George double-u of course
troubles you
but your chores muzzle you
what's yours smuggles you
in this slave trade
lie and kill to stay paid
diet pills and AKs
silent hill day trade
mister missus
this is the business
from kiss to kisses
from dish to dishes
the price on your head
is triple sixes
and this is reality
human bestiality
put a bullet in my cavity
to feed your vanity
I'm crazy"
--Tablo, Mr. Doctor
and
" 남들보다 조금 더 크게 웃고
일어서 웃으며 인사하고
엘리베이터 안에서
잠시만이라도 눈 감고
새가 되는 상상에 빠지고
내리고 도시의 공기를 마시고
앞으로 걷고 지나가는 사람과
어깨가 부딪치고
아 죄송합니다 말하고
지하철을 기다리면서
오늘도 또 입을 다물고
소리쳐 "
--Tablo, 행복합니다 (I Am Happy)
Mr. Tablo of Epik High, you never cease to amaze me. I wish I could go between languages so easily, so fluidly as you can...
Maya...do you really mean to go through with your Tagalog poem as well? I'm struggling so much with the Korean...I'm trying, though.
