Poem from '1001 POEMS' by the Danish writer Klaus Høeck

 

            on the one hand lan

            guage is much too small

and tends to constrict rea

lity with its net of lo

            gic and on the oth

            er hand language tends

            to be much too big

            rambling away in

its own cockandbull stories

write the poem where language

            and reality

            are weighted the same
