July 21, 1969
Translated from the Hungarian by Max Gutmann
No disrespect
to Armstrong and Aldrin’s
moonwalk,
but I have to say,
it’s also a miracle
that man walks
on Earth.
Original poem (published in 1970):
1969. július 21.
Anélkül hogy lebecsülném
Armstrong és Aldrin
Hold-sétáját,
meg kell mondanom,
az is csoda,
hogy ember jár
a Földön.
László Feleki
