My poetry only in Japanese. No translation

— Sometimes an empty page presents more possibilities.

— I guess you really like poetry then?

— I breathe poetry.

— So you write poetry?

— Yes… My notebooks.

— Oh, yeah.

— My poetry only in Japanese. No translation.

— Poetry in translations is like taking a shower with a raincoat on.

Poetry in translation is like taking a shower with a raincoat on

This metaphor is usually used in a different context : “Some men claim that using a condom is like taking a shower with a raincoat on ” (Nass, Libby, Fisher, Sexual Choices: An Introduction to Human Sexuality, 1984, p. 366)
