“We Want Everything At Once” by Birdy Aysa


We want everything at once.
As soon as possible.
We see ourselves with a cup on top.
Wait.
At the top you will be bored.
The process itself is pleasure.


Birdy Aysa lives in Minsk, Russia where she teaches German, writes prose poetry in English, poetry in Russian and Belarusian, as well as essays in different languages.
