THE BAKER AND I Poem by Fernando Linero

What I do is as important as what the baker does, who has the sacred duty of making the first food of the day. What I produce is as real, as nutritious as bread. The baker's trade is as important as mine. To make bread is no less mysterious than writing a poem. Every day has a different formula for bread which the baker must discover in the color of the sunrise.
What I do is as important as what the baker does, as nutritious, as real.
