This is an instruction, written by Sartre, how to eat a hamburger while of surfing the wave, as a poem:

A person’s life can be instructive for others in many ways.

Another philosopher, a contemporary of Sartre, Mihail Cărtărescu (1948-), an interesting and controversial Romanian novelist, living in Paris, who has continued to write in the Romanian language, has written an interesting poem, called “The Method”.

Jean-Paul Sartre and Mihail Cărtărescu

The Method

Mihail Cărtărescu

It is written on the wall of the city hall:

Now is the time.

Meanwhile,

The walls of the city are full of graffiti.

I explain I do not know where to put them.

But I am forced to read:

TURN YOUR JAW CAUTIOUSLY

KEEP YOUR MOUTH HALF CLOSED

THEN CUT THE HAMBURGER PETAL BY PETAL
