Professor Of English ~ Profesorica Engleskog Jezika

Rating: 4.5


She spoke English as if she had
escaped from Shakespeare's comedy.

Her silk stockings rhythmically rustled.
I was looking for errors in their strings
while the professor's step and her legs
were eden gardens to my imagination.

Suddenly she stopped and said softly to me:
"Aren't you from second grade?
Don't you learn German? "
I lifted my head and looked her in the eye.

Confused, ashamed of puberty
blush on my face, I replied:
"Yes, but I prefer English."

She laughed because she recognized
the language I spoke and she continued
to take the same easy step
which over time became a part
of my most beautiful dreams.

Profesorica engleskog jezika

Govorila je engleski jezik
kao da je pobjegla
iz Šekrpirove komedije.

Ritmično su šuštale njene čarape od svile.
Ja sam tražio greške u njihovim žicama
dok su profesoričin korak i njene noge
bili mojoj mašti pravi rajski vrtovi.

Iznenada je zastala je i rekla mi je tiho:
"Zar vi niste iz drugog razreda?
Zar vi ne učite njemački jezik? "
Podigao sam glavu i gledao sam je u oči.

Zbunjen, stideći se pubertetskog
rumenila na licu, odgovorio sam:
"Da, ali više volim engleski jezik."

Nasmijala se jer je prepoznala
jezik kojim sam govorio i nastavila je
da korača istim, laganim korakom
koji je vremenom postao dio
mojih, najljepših snova.
