Self-robbery
It pays to rob yourself. Leave nothing, Not even the change in the depths of your pockets, Not even the earnings in the lining of your jacket. Rid yourself of tattered disguises, All those corpses in your bloodstream, And colourful tranquilisers. Take all the holy books you use every Sunday. Leave not the rings, Which hold rusty keys. Maps of foggy cities, And so-called ‘personal' objects. And with arms outstreched like a condor, Await a robber. |
samopljačka – Dinko Telecan
valja sebe opljačkati temeljito – ne tajeći sitnice na dnu džepa ni ušteđevinu u postavi kaputa treba si oduzeti iskrzane paravane tolika trupla u krvotoku i šarena sredstva za smirenje oteti si nedjeljne molitvenike i svežnjeve hrđavih ključeva mape maglovitih gradova i navodne osobne isprave i onda kondorski raširenih ruku dočekati lopova |
