Vasko Popa Time Poems
- 1. The Admirers Of The Little Box
Sing little box
Don't let sleep overtake you
The world's awake within you
... - 2. A Conceited Mistake
Once upon a time there was a mistake
So silly so small
That no one would even have noticed it
... - 3. The Owners Of The Little Box
Line the inside of the little box
With your precious skin
And make yourself cozy
Just as you would in your own home
... - 4. A Forgetful Number
Once upon a time there was a number
Pure and round like the sun
But alone very much alone
...
