Metáfora

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Metaphor

A can exists to contain something
But when the poet says: Can
He may be wanting to say the uncontainable

A goal exists to be a target
But when the poet says: Goal
He may be wanting to say the unattainable

Therefore, don't meddle in demanding from the poet
To determine the content in his can
In the poet's can, everythingnothing fits
Because it is up to the poet
To make the uncontainable fit in the can

Leave the poet's goal, don't argue
Leave your goal out of the dispute
Goal inside and outside, absolute can
Simply let it be a metaphor
