Relationship with the Scene

At the city’s edge
a retired Croatian veteran
plays the anthem
every day
at 6 o’clock in the morning
and hoists the tricolor flag
on the 15 meter mast.
This man is religious
I say,
I feel somewhat insecure
in the moroseness of every day.
I’m sitting in the car
with my foot on the gas pedal
indecisive
as to whether to change something,
anything.
Back then I wouldn’t think twice
I’d speed off into the sky
and stay there forever.

Odnos s prizorom

Odnos s prizorom

Na periferiji grada
umirovljeni hrvatski branitelj
svaki dan
u 6 sati ujutro
svira Lijepu našu
i na jarbol visok 15 metara
podiže trobojnicu.
Ovaj je čovjek religiozan
kažem,
osjećam određenu nesigurnost
u mrzovolji svakodnevlja.
Sjedim u autu
s nogom na papučici gasa
neodlučan
treba li se nešto promijeniti
u bilo kom smislu.
Nekad ne bih dvojio
Odjurio bih u nebo
i ostao zauvijek.
