Letter, #2

Dear Tom:

when a pup of around 20 or 21
i discovered the poems of Paul Celan
translated by Michael Hamburger
later to discover Celan is an anagram
for Ancel which was a further abbreviation of the poet's name

and there i realized the poverty of names

a few are happy with what they got
but not for me and my common name

so i experimented with anagrams too

only to know that i can love my poverty

and i'm sure if the poet liked Pez
then he would've like to have been
something humble or cool like Spiderman

love,

Richard
