I think I have fever, probably caused by hormones, not an illness. So, this is what happens when I have fever. Not a part of any of the two series so far. Perhaps I need a third series.
Klot & frket
Oslobodi moje zamršene snove i pusti ih da polete,
imam ceo bataljon tegova u ovim cipelama,
kao novine, vodim dnevnik nesrećnih krajeva,
za slučaj da mi jednog dana zatrebaju.
Na mojoj strani je uvek frket, na tvojoj klot,
i zato sam iznutra prepuna grubih čvorova,
neki su svakim danom sve veći i veći.
Zamisli gde bismo mogli da stignemo sa munjama umesto ruku?
Zamisli šta bi bilo da su

My friend Lelei partly got me to writing this one. In a conversation with her, we realised that everyone else, especially guys, gets a real kick out of harrassing good girls.
How rare is the good girl thing? Probably so rare that the things such as natural looks are now a part of carefully-tailored looks. How rare are the girls who are not missbehaving for reasons other than religion and similar customs preventing them from it? Probably even more rare. How rare are people who overdo things, yet they don’t have a specific self-promoting type of a reason for doing it?

This took as long to write as Chasing The Doll did and I believe it’s the second longest p..m of the series. It was inspired by an episode of the French cartoon series Sharky & Georges which my parents said was not a good thing to put in a children’s cartoon, at least not yet. I remember being seriously disturbed by that episode, despite its happy ending.
Last year, I wrote a p..m titled Anglerfish/Suckerfish. I was not happy with it, it was not narrative enough and it lacked a story, it was just a bunch of descriptions. The

The idea? Nothing much. Looked up a famous date from general history in a microhistory I’m trying to make sense of…found it four times, three of which were occasions to forget…two of those three were literally a shame. The less covered-up of the two had a plot similar to the date in general history.
There’s something funny in the English version…it dates from the time closer to the historical date than the time closed to the spoof date…but I only noticed it when I was done.
This was a strange experience…the original version did not rhyme in some places and then the

This is a Forever Nine p..m, written a couple of days ago. I originally wanted it to go live on the 22nd or 23rd, but I cannot wait that long and I’m sure I’ll come up with an even bigger esprit de l’escalier by that day.
This is an autobiographical story. It’s touching the same bizzare things that caused the argument in Chasing The Doll, but it’s touching them the way they really were. Therefore, it’s similar to Milk, The Coldest Winter Ever…and many others. Lazy to list them all, but the motif is the most present one in the last

For this episode, Wrong Star is moving to the north…and to the east…crossing a border that wasn’t always a border, it’s taking a step below its usual intensity. If you speak many languages, the title is a dead giveaway when translated to the right language. I mean, if you have a clue. This is a p..m about how it’s like when someone gives you an impression that you’re a giant trash can full of everything they rejected and full of everything they don’t bother with. Like, the biggest garbage can in the world for such matter.

Yes, I am trying to be an active poet, next to being an active designer and an amateur photographer. The last thing is going to result in four photographs being published, the second is what brings Pepsi Max and instant cheesy macaroni to table (I do like fine foods, just kiddin’), the first is what I can do at any time, anywhere, anyhow.
A couple of days ago, I applied to participate in Pesničenje, which is a monthly/bi-monthly poetry reading/recitating event here in Beograd, sometimes it’s held in other places in Serbia, it even made to London and Riga. Then I
June 21, 2010 » My first p..m, from 22 years ago
Lives of a clipping, Unsorted | Respond
I want to share this. I am not sure of its exact date, the year is 1988. I took a pencil and a paper and started writing it. After the pencil broke twice, my dad took the paper and told me to dictate the p..m to him. So I did. There was a gap of at least one year between my first and second p..m, which was combining The Shoe People and Romanian Revolution (this is not a joke).
This is unedited, exactly the way it was written 22 years ago, with a know-how English translation.

Lives of a clipping, Wrong Star | Respond
Remember the freaky swallows that were defending that moody flower? In the next episode, the narrator turns into a swallow.
The flower is now a human and that human apparently has the power of breaking the walls, but not the right way. Having found a swallow that obviously needs something, they place it in a soft drinking cup and not bother about it anymore. The swallow bites because it’s hungry, they bite back because they can’t believe they’ve been biten. Strangely enough, the swallow ends up feeding the human, but not itself. Its eyes are changing colours. It could probably leave

This is one of those just-for-the-sake-of-it p..ms. It’s about never appreciating the present and always wanting either the past or future. It’s probably below average.
