from “Mister Today”

Let’s praise my spirit!
scribbled Mister Today into a notebook on his knees
with a sharpened pencil on the day of St Ožbolt.
Deep inside man there is an enormous abyss
of nothingness and parsley.
Your gaze is green-blue
and Bratislava is green-blue too.
I uncorked the bottle
and there was a boy walking his dog in the rain.
