If Poem by Arta Krasniqi

If



If people were numbers
I'd be a zero
And you'd be
Infinity...

WOW! Infinity versus zero? There can be no more hyperbolic praise for an admired person than what you put in this brief poem. But the poem almost subverts itself. Any person who is this humble has virtue in abundance and therefore is already superior morally to the person she is praising. At least that is my impression. Fabrizio's comment below is also perceptive: as soon as we embrace the concept we are all ONE RACE OF BEINGS no one is zero. But-but as an expression of the sheer wonder of another person, this poem is-is g-r-e-a-t!

''I'd be a zero'' why a ''zero''.. Indeed, you're part of that ''infinity'' which is all of us, Arta.. no one is 'zero'.. ;)
