EXCUSE

Poetry Alison Song
Teacher,
This is not an excuse
광활한 하늘을
더 이상 우러를 수 없다
그럴수록
절망은 깊은바다의
검은 짠 맛을 만나
첫 울음 터졌을 때부터
마지막으로 눈감을 때까지
실수라는 바다에 들어가고
바다를 빠져나오려는
우리의 절박한 손을
새가 부리로 쪼아댄다면
우리를 깊은 곳으로
쳐내고
후에는 모래사장에 널린
작은 조개조각도
우리의 존재를 모르겠지
눈 떠보라
우리가 한낱 먹기만 하는
부리가 아닐지
My homework was at a crime scene
But CSI had took it as evidence
I was doing my homework at a jedi council
But someone cut through with a light saber
I was sending my homework by the Titanic
But it hit the bottom of the ocean
I was on the Black Pearl with my homework
But a pirate ripped it with an arrrr
I was on a spaceship to Planet Pandora
But a Na’vi dedicated my homework to their sacred tree
I left my homework at a bakery
But Jean Valjean mistook it as bread and stole it
Oh yes, I forgot
My dog ate it up too
And teacher,
This is not an excuse
