I have heard it was difficult to get there,
Direct flights fly from nowhere. People
Need to be close by to reach shore:
It is one of the places we need to know
Already to get to know again. I get
Why one would want to risk the vital
Contraptions of nature in a quest for
Culture. But what I see before all is
A gift shop the size of an entire island,
Offering souvenirs no one can carry home.
It may be the case that souvenirs are
In general fixed to the ground they dried up.
I don't know if that matters.
Aristophanes cast an essential nostalgia
Upon the cradle of early philosophy,
It was a wonderful idea to ask from
Everyone to deliver a speech in the praise
Of love. The gist of my encomium is that
I can picture Easter Island statues
On any given day. I understand
Why they contradicted themselves.
