Infinitives

To know nothing about the day that is to come.

To be unversed in historical facts,

but, still, to know how many Montenegrins

were killed in the Balkan Wars.

To quote a less — known Hispano-American writer.

To talk about impostures with the ex-criminal.

And about the history of art.

To score a point at an unimportant football match

in the playground of a southern suburb.

To stay home alone

at the time of flamboyant town carnivals.

To live in the suburbs,

from there to experience the Weltschmerz.

To see the singularity of Orthodox monasteries.

To offer to others altruistically

sources of personal pathos.

To have someone beside you.

All that, as well as the quotient of other nontrivial

and trivial things, probably isn’t

sufficient for salvation.
