Who are you?
By Fledermaus
20 March 2008

Anonymity

Allows people to play games,

But I'll wait and see.

 

It can be a guess

Of a stranger I don't know

Or a brilliant joke.

 

Names give things away,

But your writing must convince.

I shall be cautious.

 

詩人，你是誰？

是朋友還是別人？

你是哪一位？

A mystery. I hope it proves to be a worthwhile corresondence, and not a joke.
I'm looking at you - can't you see me?

I've tried to explain to you who I am in the poem above: Always be on your guard -----whooooooo! You never know when I'll be looking at you!

Thanks Jean and Josie. 
Let's say this is a gut reaction to a strange poem that appeared on this site just yesterday. If it is written by a stranger, I am flattered by his or her concern. If it is not a stranger, I have to think of a more suitable reaction.
Ambivalence

was niet bedoeld om je in verwarring te brengen. Ook absoluut niet als grap bedoeld oid. 
Maar een uitdrukking van een gevoel. Dat ik momenteel door omstandigheden geen energie en tijd kan steken in wellicht belangrijkere dingen, zoals jij en ik. Het spijt me daarvoor.

Thank god for on line translators. It's like a soap opera!  
 
For the record - liked the first the best.

Thanks Phil. 
My apologies for some of the untranslated things. In real life I suppose it would be very impolite to have such a conversation, but both of us had good reasons to reply in Dutch.

Peculiar, hope you are enlightened!
