Quand Metta World Peace fait de la poésie

Metta World Peace est clairement plus qu'un basketteur. Grâce au site Thebarnstormer, il est désormais un poète.

C’est un travail magnifique qu’a réalisé le site thebarnstormer.com. On savait que les déclarations de Metta World Peace dépassaient le simple cadre de la pensée de base. Certaines de ses punchlines relèvent même de l’art. Mais Thebarnstormer est allé plus loin et a constitué un poème uniquement à partir de déclarations du joueur des Los Angeles Lakers. L’œuvre basée sur les mots de Metta World Peace est intitulé « Erratic Fire, Erratic Passion ». La voici, non traduite, tant il est compliquée de traduire une poésie sans rien perdre de sa puissance : I don’t shake substitutions’ hands. I lose my feet. I’d like to thank my psychiatrist. I felt something, But I didn’t know it was an actual head. I knew somebody suffered something at that point. There were a lot of emotions in that game. I can’t worry about that. I have to try to get the ball. Kobe passed me the ball. Kobe never passed me the ball. And I could hear Phil Jackson– He’s the Zen master, So you can just hear him in your head. Saying, “Don’t shoot don’t shoot!” And bam! I shot it. I was lying down when I got hit with a liquid, Ice and glass on my chest and on my face. Nobody ever just threw anything at me With the exception of a few times. After that, it was self-defense. I’ll take the blame for that. It’s my fault. Stunned. So stunned. It’s stunning. Erratic fire, erratic passion. We maximize it by playing together, Loving each other, Caring for each other. Kind of like the Care Bears. You know the Care Bears? They care for each other. I partied in July hard. You got to party. You can’t just be a boring guy for 12 months, right? You got to party hard in July. Why are you staring at me, daughter? Did you throw that? Jack, you think we going to get in trouble? Let me see How I can answer your question Without giving you a good quote. Ou quand Metta Worl Peace prend une autre dimension…
