ženske
by Tone Škrjanecone še vedno spijo boli jih grlo ker so
prehlajene in želijo si še in še souvlakija
(in še enega prosim) stiska jih pri srcu
ko zapuščajo mesta ki jih imajo rade
(kot vse nas) njih včasih bolijo ledvica preklinjajo
in so tečne zelo jih boli ob njihovih
cikličnih mesečnih krvavitvah nikoli
nimajo pleše razigrane so in plešoče
grizejo si prste in ustnice imajo slabe
živce temnosivorjavo barvo kože poleti
nosijo japonke in šotor imajo zelo malo
denarja preklinjajo kot furmanski konji
pijejo ouzo da jih meče po tleh preganjajo
muhe z noge ubijajo komarje in rojevajo otroke.
Women
by Tone Škrjanecthey are still asleep their throats are sore because
they have a cold and they want more and more souvlaki
(and another one please) their hearts ache
when they leave places they love
(like all of ours) their kidneys sometimes hurt they swear
and they are grumpy it hurts them bad when they have
their monthly periods they never
go bald they are playful and dancing
biting their fingers and lips they have bad
nerves darkgreybrown color of skin in the summer
they wear flip-flops and a tent they have very
little money they swear like sailors
they drink ouzo until they roll on the floor they chase
off flies from their legs they kill mosquitoes and give birth.
