1/1 or - One Through One
by Nikola Kitanovic

There were classifieds on top of a newspaper page.
I am looking for an adequate answer to questions.
I thought it was a joke. But it wasn't.
I ask questions for cheap.
I thought it was a joke. But it wasn't.

Janitors read newspapers - from the first to the last page.
Or, maybe, from the middle.
It doesn't matter, everybody's got his own order.
Whichever page you turn,
Advertisements are always found on the first page
The public bus driver doesn't read newspapers...
It does not suit him to look away from the road while driving.
Is the driver deprived of ads or saved from their questions...
I don't know!
Native Language: Serbian

1/1 Ili - Jedan Kroz Jedan

Na pocetku novinskog lista behu oglasi.
Trazim povoljan odgovor na pitanja.
Mislih sala. Ali nije.
Povoljno postavljam pitanja.
Mislih sala. Ali nije.

Domari citaju novine - od prvog ili poslednjeg lista.
Ili, mozda, od sredine.
Svejedno, svako ima svoj redosled.
Bilo koju stranu da okrenete,
Uvek se na prvom mestu nalaze oglasi.
Sofer gradskog autobusa ne cita novine...
Ne prilici mu da za vreme voznje skrece pogled sa puta.
Da li je sofer uskracen za oglase ili postedjen njihovih pitanja...
Ne znamo!
