### Part I: The Seed (The Beginning)
I tried to learn English,
head clear, night bright.
Voice from the screen,
taught me a word, “blocked.”
### Part II: The First Unfolding (The Lesson)
I tried to learn English,
head clear, night bright:
“Blocked,” it said,
when you’re stuck, no step in sight.
It’s just a language lesson,
grammar in a glass,
with every beer,
awkward moments pass.
### Part III: The Second Unfolding (The Struggle)
The voice went on,
about having a goal,
to aim at something,
a project for the soul.
I wrote it down,
tried to say something deep,
then it said “Plastic,”
and I just looked away.
### Part IV: The Convergence (The Realization)
“This site aims to teach children,”
it drones, relentless,
I sit with my own,
little plastic bones.
“Unfortunately,” it whispers,
“our budget is not enough,”
and I can’t help but laugh,
‘cause that’s the real stuff.
### Part V: The Coda (The Resolution)
Yes, my English gets better,
with a little bit of wine,
thoughts get so clear,
a perfect, straight, and simple line.
“Blocked” is how I feel,
when the budget is so low,
“Plastic” is a feeling,
where all the dreams can go.
