Landscape of Farm Rental Income

how gorgeous the morning landscape
of farm rental income
to the fire-flies
in coarse sacks

obedient working monster
the DRAGON combine,
boldly I’m trespassing on
the field of rye

I’m beating the butterflies with God’s whip!

how scientific and irresistible
the trans-sense* language
    of political economy

Pejzaž zemljišne rente

Pejzaž zemljišne rente

krijesnicama u grubim
platnenim vrećicama
zanosan je jutarnji pejzaž
zemljišne rente

poslušno radno čudovište
kombajn marke ZMAJ,
smiono provalim
u polje raži

bičem božjim tučem leptirice!

znanstven je, neodoljiv je
zaumni jezik
    političke ekonomije
