"Да и о чем говорить? Из всякого времени надо вырываться, выскакивать, не давать емy проглотить себя."

- Людмила Улицкая

What's there to say? You must tear yourself out, jump out of every era, not allow it to swallow you.

reading The Green Tent

This is something that occurred to me when I was at our family friends' house watching Spiderman:

The best superhero story would be a description of the hero’s childhood, then his discovery and first use of his powers – the joy of it and the magic of it. Then a big thing would fall on him and crush him and the world would go on, not knowing what it had lost, and he would never become a series of boring episodes with predictable endings.

Oktobar

Sirova hladnoća,

prva posle oblih, žutih dana,

siva i sveža, sa kostima od izgorelog drveta.

Ustala sam i telo hoće u školu,

u škripu parketa, u okove džempera;

hoće da rumeni pored studene reke

bez bljeska i smeha.

Komšija, dobro jutra. A ‘ladno –

na stepeništu zgrade.

Porozni zvuk motora;

u nebu malo plavetnila – nežnog,

bledog kao blagoslov.
