Today, attempts
at symmetry
will be allowed
to wander: today
we’ll squander
every impulse
towards the perfect
circle, dump
the craving
for an unassailable
geometry: today
all regulated
circumscriptions
and depictions
of exactitudes
put to the test
will be, as sweetly
as they can be,
patted on their
heads and fed
and put to rest.
Today we’ll live
as if a life goes on
forever. Today
we’ll sit there
in the hay, chew
chewing gum,
and be a bum.

Would you please translate this into English? I have a Japanese friend who is able to guess at the meaning but I really need more help. Thank you for commenting -- I just would like to know what you're saying!
