The World Will
Become Extinct
The world will die
out
not of aids cholera
boredom
atomic bomb won’t
destroy the world
the world will
become extinct of fear
it will slowly seep
down the trouser
leg

I Am a Blade of
Grass
I am a blade of
grass
the dewed one that
glitters
in front of the
sways
of the lawnmower
man
mowing in a row
some blades of
grass early in the morning
some of them during
the day
and some only at night
(Translated by Danijela Trajkovi─З)
