The Time of Bosnians ( To Emir Kusturica )

The Time of Bosnians
To Emir Kusturica


Old whores of Sarajevo taking refuge to
dancing gypsies making a bear dance.
Your birthday. Depp, Brando congratulate you,
Smoking, at a gipsy- smelling TV I glance.

Bacteria too can disinfect, we’ve learnt,
It’s useless to pray in poker to become rich.
Cruel loud laughter can ease a torment,
The world’s good like this, gypsies, you, Milosevic.
