'Don’t leave your room…' by Joseph Brodsky - Modern Poetry in Translation
Translation and introduction by Alexandra Berlina
Poem of the decade is still by Brodsky:
Don’t be an imbecile! Be what the others couldn’t be.
Don’t leave the room! Let furniture keep you company,
vanish, merge with the wall, barricade your iris
from chronos, eros, cosmos, logos, virus.

This was the juiciest melon I have ever had, but if they could drop the price to $30 from $100 at the cost of making it less perfectly round, then it would make it a good melon
