I AM A FOREIGNER Poem by Ivan Slamnig

I AM A FOREIGNER



I am a nobody. Who are you?
E. Dickinson
I am a Foreigner! Good evening.
Are you a foreigner too?
It makes us a couple, isn't it so? Don't tell, because
they'll chain up me and you.

It is sad to be a native
and it is boorish, like a frog,
croaking all night long
from a fuming bog!

Izrasli su moji prijatelji na jednom stablu
Once upon a time I used to be a madman
