Conditions of Body and Mind After You Turn Thirty

(The world I live in brings me) Disappointment… 1. With my generation
(The world I live in brings me) Disappointment… 2. With the statesmen
(The world I live in brings me) Disappointment… 3. With myself
(The world I live in brings me) Acting… 1. Out of Stubbornness
(The world I live in brings me) Acting… 2. Out of Spite
(The world I live in brings me) Acting… 3. Out of Faith

Hey you, wise head,
my father still scolds me
when I tell him
I take my spite on him.
Yet I didn’t get wiser.
I didn’t brought myself to senses,
didn’t get any more serious.
Yet I keep on doing the same old same –
I write Bitola, Republic of Macedonia
on my Greek visa application,
I spend my money so I have
something to earn.
I fall in love again
so they return to me
after they leave me.
Out of Spite, what else,
how to otherwise act?
