Everyone is a Prisoner: I am still in an apple seed

Translated by Hana Kim
Everyone is a prisoner
pent up in illusions and hallucinations
imprisoned in the routine of daily life
imprisoned in ideas that have come to a standstill
imprisoned in the hard walls of the house
which ideas have built
imprisoned in fragile decency
imprisoned in the very thought that everything is pent up
Everyone is a prisoner
누구든 포로다
-나는 아직 사과씨 속에 있다
권천학
누구든 포로다
망상과 환상에 갇히고
일상의 쳇바퀴에 갇히고
멈추어선 관념에 갇히고
관념이 지어놓은
단단한 집의 벽 속에 갇히고
허물렁한 체면에 갇히고
갇혀 있다고 생각하는 생각에 갇히고
갇혀있는
누구나 다 포로다
