The
American Dream
To
absorb space ships off the oven pane
With
dissolving meat
And
the traces of tantamount letters
Of
an open book
Regurgitated
slime through a stitched net
For
vermin and against them
Against
ingress and penetration through the screen
Where
a creature erects in red underwear
And
winks in body photography
I
shut my eye lids and tone down
To
the flat line of life support
And
swim in a puddle of blood and fumes
Faraway
and deep
Towards
the sun
Towards
the egress out of the cesspool

[Long time ago this poem was one of those which were sent to poetry competition. Another of my poems won first prize. Now, many years after it's written, American Corner in Subotica which held that competition in 2011 will maybe be closed down. In the memory of American Corner SU and that competition (held for 5th anniversary of AC Subotica) I am posting this My American Dream (as the topic of that competition was).]
