NIŠTA DVAPUT
Dvaput se ništa ne događa
niti će se dogoditi. Zbog toga
neuvežbani smo se rodili
i nerutinski pomrećemo.
Makar učenici
najgluplji u školi sveta bili,
nijednu zimu ni leto
nećemo ponavljati.
Nijedan dan se neće ponoviti,
dve slične noći ne postoje,
ni dva ista poljupca,
ni dva jednaka pogleda u oči.
Juče, kada ime tvoje
neko kraj mene glasno izgovori,
bi mi kao da ruža
kroz otvoren prozor pade.
Danas, kada smo zajedno,
okrenula sam lice ka zidu.
Ruža? Kako izgleda ruža?
Da li je to cvet? A možda je kamen?
Zbog čega se, trenu crni,
s nepotrebnom zebnjom mešaš?
Postojiš - prema tome moraš proći.
Proći - prema tome to je lepo.
Nasmejani, zagrljeni,
pokušavamo sklad da nađemo,
iako se kao dve kapi čiste vode
razlikujemo.
