Ja i ti. On i ona. Ponekad mi. Ponekad oni. Ali uvijek isti. Na pozornici. Na plesnom podiju. Na ulici. Na desetom katu stambenog nebodera. Upravo sad. I рипо kasnije. I poslije. U sjećanju. Vrtimo se oko spaljenog mjesta katastrofe. Oko teksta. Mene. Rečenice su oštrih rubova. Tako se i govore. VODILI SU LJUBAV КАО DA SE TUKU. Тако trebam započeti. Kao da se događa nekom drugom. Izgovorit ću to s osmijehom. Smireno. Suzdržano. Strpljivo. Veliko slovo. Interpunkcija. Veliko slovo. Interpunkcija. Veliko slovo. Interpunkcija. PA KRAJ.

On a dance-floor. On the street. On the tenth floor of a skyscraper. Right now. Also much later. And earlier. In memory. Circling the razed site of a catastrophe. The text. Myself. The sentences are sharp-edged. And to be spoken thus. THEIR LOVEMAKING WAS LIKE A CLASH, That's how I should begin. As if it is happening to someone else. I'll say it with a smile With calm. With reticence. With patience. Upper case. Punctuation mark. Upper case. Punctuation mark. Upper case. Punctuation mark. THEN END.
