    Search atoms on the edge of the world

     


    Soil metaphysics

    where you were born

    it is determined by the degree

    minute and second

    latitude and longitude

     

    You were born there

    that's where you learned to speak

    began to breathe

    eat from that soil

    drink water from that source

    to bask in the sun

    on that ground

     

    search atoms

    on the edge of the world

     

    soil metaphysics

    A clamp called man

     

    Metaphysics of the soil

    The place you were born

    is determined by the degree

    minute and second

    latitude and longitude

    you were born there

    that's where you learned to speak

    began to breathe

    eat from that soil

    drink water from that source

    to bask in the sun

    on that ground

    search atoms

    on the edge of the world

     

    metaphysics of the soil.

    A bond called man

     

    Reading Ethan Allen

     

    In the animal body revived

    Natural heritage

    The nature of evil

    The nature of good

    No preference

    Arbitrarily edits

    Selfish

    Old

    Mixture

    Of all the beings

    Of our age

    In space,

    In

    Complete

    Scale of

    Beings

     

    A bond called man

    eventually miss

    not be better

    than he would be

    that he never existed

    Black Africa

     

    In broad daylight

    Stopped

    By a black

    Rubber

    Baton

    Black man.

    At a

    Threshold

    Heavy chains

    Chained doors

    By

    White cop,

    White uniforms,

    White as walls

    Churches for whites.

    - I came

    to sweep the church -

    He said.

    - Get in, the black sweeper.

    White cop,

    Threatening him:

    - Throw as much as you like,

    but if I just catch you,
    to pray inside.

    Atomi traženja na rubnici svijeta


    metafizika tla
    tamo gdje si rođen
    određeno je stupnjem
    minutom i sekundom
    geografskom širinom i dužinom
    tu si rođen
    tu si naučio govoriti
    počeo disati
    jesti s toga tla
    piti vodu s toga izvora
    grijati se pod suncem
    na tome tlu

    atomi traženja
    na rubnici svijeta
    metafizike tla

    Spona koja se nazva čovjek


    Čitajući Ethana Allena

    ...

    u životinjskom tijelu oživljen
    prirodno baštini
    prirodu zla
    prirodu dobra
    svejedno
    proizvoljno uređuje
    sebična
    stara
    smjesa
    svih bića
    našega uzrasta
    u svemiru
    u
    upotpuni
    skala
    bića
    spona koja se nazva čovjek
    na kraju krajeva propustit
    ne bit bolji
    nego što bi bio
    da uopće ni postojao nije.

    Afrika


    Crna Afrika,
    u po bijela dana
    zaustavljen
    crnom,
    gumenom,
    batinom,
    crnac,
    pred
    pragom
    teškim lancima
    okovana vrata,
    od strane
    bijeloga policajca,
    bijele uniforme,
    bijele kao zidovi
    crkve za bijelce.
    - Došao sam,
    pomesti crkvu.
    Reče.
    - Uđi pometaču crni.
    Bijeli policajac
    prijeteći mu zbori:
    - Meti koliko voliš,
    al' uhvatim li te samo,

    da se unutra moliš.
