Anne Tardos Poems

The insubstantial and changing quality of space is appreciated.
Intellectual understanding is based on harmless and spontaneous perception.
...

Take a good look, she says about her inventory.
Palatially housed, her inflammatory and multifaceted
...

A life terminated is still a life, while a life about to be terminated
may be less so.
...

It's the ego that lets go of the ego.
A leftist is usually right.
Everyone is really a very fine fellow.
...

Lacan says to "Eat your existence, mange ton dasein."
There's no field of sense that can be quilted.
(I don't really know what that's supposed to mean.)
...

It’s so quiet today—don’t know what to say.
The uncertainty of the uncertainty and then the uncertainty.
Is the road we take imagined or already given?
...

My love is strong but more work is needed.
It's hard to "translate" a Shakespeare sonnet like that.
You can publish my language, but who reads it.
When I sing, I follow my Philomel, the nightingale.
...

Don't blame me, I was hacked, not my fault.
Nobody is wrong, everybody is right, nobody is right.
I reach across something white from a nearby universe.
And see a familiar looking mirror image of myself.
...

Everything, but everything, tends to be working against me.
It's the way in which the world functions, basically.
Existence is assured to those who overcome every obstacle.
...

In writing: find the right tone, and you're off.
Leave the phony stuff behind, you don't need it.
That doesn't mean that devices are to be avoided.
...
