Two Kinds of People: Poems from Mile End - Vincenzo Di Nicola - Bog

"TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE begins at a crossroads. Faced with two possible paths, what kind of person are you? Choose your direction, left or right, because there are only two kinds of people. At the crossroads, you stand looking around, and as you do, the road begins to abstract itself, the clarity of this duality fading as the two paths fill with different shading, color, the layers becoming visible to you. Yet, you haven't even taken a step, still frozen, between your two choices. Slowly, the stiffness turns into poise, as your awareness opens outwards, allowing you to take in the poetry of the moment. These words guide you: ... here's to chaos, here's to spontaneity and spunk mixing gaily And to more stolen apples, taken freely -Yes. Please. To more of this! This book of poetry invites you into the subtle porosity of the present, found in small moments: on street corners, between strangers, friends, and in the many ingredients you might add to your borscht soup. The poetry reminds, gently, that there is ; only this world / ... ; only today / ... ; only we two, face to face and as you return to the present and recall that you must make a choice between one thing and the other, it is only to realize that you are now in a vast field, without any clear paths in sight.
