THE THREE ODDEST WORDS

When I pronounce the word Future,
The first syllable already belons to the past.

When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.

When I pronounce the word Nothing
I make something no nonbeing can hold.

Now guess the author of this poem and ... you can win one of
these prizes

a) a book of her poems (in my national Lingo)
b) a T-shirt with J.Hendrix pic (too big for me)
c) a bottle of vodka (also too big for me)

Deadline: hmm ... the end of month. Thx. Miros

Easy:

Wislawa Szymborska

I hope it's good vodka!

TEd would look GREAT in that Hendrix t-shirt.

Hey, win your own darned contest, Padre!

For those interested, Szymborska won the Nobel Prize for Literature hmm, ten years or so ago. 1995 or 1996. Too lazy to look it up.
