Cas Milosz

i have never in my own alive ears heard this word Milosc uttered by any tongue.
i have never in my benevelont life ever looked into the eyes of my siostra.
none of my brothers look like me except the one called David who has red and white blood cells and my goodie gumdrop laughter.
i heard the voice of dear Wislawa Szymborska it was only one word i cannot remember for the crying life of me what year it was.
i was about 5 feet two inches and i was living in a place called Campus Commons.
it was only one word it was just "Well'
now Well is a fonky word in english it is very quite alive also like the wonderful Love Mee Lowsz. Me Knows.
anyhow i recently learned there is no Polska word for a simple "no"
but when i listen to my dear Wislawa read her poems in my Grannie's tongue she sounds italian and Latin sometimes.
it happens.
yadda anyhow No is an important word in american english because a lot of these folks do not know how to say it nor how powerful it is.
i notice the word for "and" in my Polska is "i" and i love that word but in my Polska it sounds a lot like my dear siostra called Denise Rodriguez from Guatamala when she says "i had beans and rice for dinner" she says i hhad beans eeeeeeeeeee rice.
do you understand where my mind travels when i am hungry and living in a town i never made?
i do wish i did not think in puny english it is a dangerous phenomenon but i do know Love because my Grandmother Jojo taught me how to shuffle a deck of cards at the age of 8 in the 1990's when everybody in america thought Bill Clinton was a lovely guy because he played saxaphone.
anyhow i drift. apologies. this is not my language.
i know what love is because Jojo is always with me. i know how to cook a potato just like you know how to cook a potato but i cannot cook a potato like you dot it. same for me same for you yadda yadda.
love is love.
