Read the poem by Adam Zagajewski. Pay attention to what topics of the message prevail and what are missing.
Co godzinę wiadomościRadio podaje co godzinę wiadomości.
Spikerzy wiedzą wszystko; niemożliwe,
Zdawałoby się, żeby każda godzina
Zabijała, kradła i oszukiwała. A jednak
Tak jest, godziny jak lwy pożerają
Zapasy życia. Rzeczywistość przypomina
Sweter przetarty na łokciach. Kto
Słucha wiadomości, nie wie, że
W pobliżu, po ogrodzie mokrym od deszczu
Spaceruje mały szary kot i bawi się,
Mocuje z twardymi łodygami traw.Source: Adam Zagajewski, Co godzinę wiadomości, Kraków 2010.
