" "Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their job with love and imagination. It may include doctors, teachers, gardeners — I could list a hundred more professions. Their work becomes one continuous adventure as long as they manage to keep discovering new challenges in it. Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges from every problem that they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous "I don't know."

SENKA
Moja senka kao dvorska luda za kraljicom.
Kad kraljica sa stolice ustane,
luda se na zidu nakostreši
i u plafon glupom glavom udari.
Što može u dvodimenzionalnom svetu
na svoj način boli.
Možda je ludi na mom dvoru loše
i sebe bi u drugoj ulozi volela.
Kraljica će se kroz prozor nagnuti,
a luda s prozora dole skočiti.
Svaku aktivnost su podelile,
ali ne na pola.
Onaj prostak na sebe uzeo gestove,
patos i svu njegovu bestidnost,
to je sve, za šta snage nemam– za krunu, žezlo, kraljevski plašt.
Biću, ah, laka u pokretima ramena,
ah, laka u okretanju glave,
kralju, pri našem oproštaju,
kralju, na železničkoj stanici.
Kralju, u to vreme luda će,
kralju, leći na železničke šine.
