downtown
in the three bedroom apartment
that belonged to the big shot member of the ruling party
who loved to talk about
family values and
Christian ideals

I was rolling a joint.

his son always has
the best pot
in this part of the world.

and adores cheep symbolism.

that is why he lights his joints
with the ZIPPO lighter with the engraved sign of the ministry of home affairs
                        which
his dad
                        got for a present from
the minister of home affairs
                        in person.

u centru grada,
u trosobnoj stančini
bitne face iz stranke na vlasti
koja voli pričati o
obiteljskim vrijednostima i
kršćanskim idealima

rolao sam joint.

njegov sin uvijek ima
najbolji dim
na ovim prostorima.

i obožava jeftinu simboliku.

zato jointe pripaljuje
ZIPP-om s ugraviranim znakom MUP-a
                        kojeg je
njegovom tati
                        poklonio
ministar unutrašnjih poslova
                        osobno.
