PRONOIC (ATTITUDE)
S. Guraziu, 2021
“Let there be light,” I said, and there was light. What a beautiful day! I need a shower, no care about my hair. Luckily, I can “go” unshaved for two or three days. But in the kitchen, I realized there’s no coffee. I can’t go to “Hoogvliet” without a mask.
“You’re not original, that’s plagiarism,” responded God. “I said, ‘Let there be light’!”
“So what?” I replied. “You said it, I can say it again. I can pretend I didn’t know who said what. Many writers and poets don’t know who said what!”
So, why “plagiarism”? It isn’t. A while ago, I was watching “Vikings” on Netflix and discovered their hairstyles and tattoo designs were stolen from us, the “modernists,” as if every single hair was treated with a laser-blade. Needless to say, even while fighting, covered in dust and blood, their “hair” was better than mine. Now, should I say Vikings were “plagiarists,” or original hairstylists?
Nothing… but silence. It seems God needed some time to analyze my claim.
