Anamorphoses

Who drinks from just one glass
breaks just one glass
and loses just one illusion
or else he puts the glass in the cupboard
and forgets

who forgets
has drunk from just one glass

who drinks from just one glass
dies in just one glass
and exits just one life

in just one life
I have drunk from every glass

I always thought the other one
held what I was looking for.
