Normal mother must love his son
but if he is taught that
the circle and the square are the same
because her life always had dark edges,
her son will think everyone is paranoid
who thinks differently of his mother,
that the Nazis were just the one
who started the war.
She will always be a normal mother
to which her mother made the dark edge
without whose love has been living
poor girl since the age of three.
There are some holes in life
which we can't fill with anything.

Majka i sin
Normalna majka mora da voli svog sina
ali ako ga nauči da su krug i kvadrat isto
jer njen život je uvijek imao mračne ivice,
njen sin će misliti da je paranoik svako
ko drugačije misli o njegovoj majci,
da je nacista bio samo onaj ko je počeo rat.
Ona će uvijek biti normalna majka
kojoj je mračnu ivicu napravila
njena majka bez čije ljubavi
je jadno dijete živjelo
od treće godine života.
Postoje neke rupe u životu
koje ničim ne možemo popuniti.
