Poem
Fernando Linero
The Baker and I
What I do is as important as what the baker does, who has the sacred duty of making the first food of the day. What I produce is as real, as nutritious as bread. The baker’s trade is as important as mine. To make bread is no less mysterious than writing a poem. Every day has a different formula for bread which the baker must discover in the color of the sunrise.What I do is as important as what the baker does, as nutritious, as real.

El panadero y yo
El panadero y yo
Lo mío es tan importante como lo del panadero que tiene el sagrado compromiso de elaborar el primer alimento del día. Lo que yo produzco es tan real tan nutricio como un pan. Lo del panadero es tan importante como lo mío. Hacer un pan no es menos misterioso que hacer un poema. Cada día tiene para su pan de cada día una fórmula distinta que el panadero debe descubrir en el color del alba.Lo mío es tan importante como lo del panadero, tan nutricio, tan real.
