BOY STEP
from this morning and last night I don’t feel good but I thought that’s actually good
I’m too much alone too many failures too much dear God that’s it to me yesterday I walked only two kilometres. I hope I will walk eighteen today and hence with the excess ones I had every day this week I will manage to fulfil daily average of thirteen kilometres several things have been bothering me yesterday fuzzing taking my strength away were making me vain and pointless selfish and vain I wrote all of them down in the afternoon there was six of them when I looked at them I felt those are not my problems my problem is that I’m losing trust in myself and my work trust in God’s light within me keep on and carry on Miroslav general and abstract truth is more valuable from all goods Rousseau helped me when I’m losing faith in myself and hope that You exist and that You will come when I’m losing hope in You I also lose love of all beings I miss you open road I’m walking – I’m a poet of all beings I’m thinking – I’m one and only artist of one and only art I’m love-kissing – I’m a walker of one and only God when I’m talking about myself I’m talking about God when I’m talking about You I’m talking about all beingsI when I’m talking about I I’m talking about one and only I I’m water – nobody addresses me but Miroslav Mandic I’m a step – nobody calls me Boy Step like Miroslav Mandic I’m a word – nobody is same with me like Miroslav Mandic I’m a path – nobody loves me like Miroslav Mandic I’m a rose – nobody is loyal to me like Miroslav Mandic I’m Miroslav Mandic – nobody is bud as much as Miroslav Mandic

FAIRY TALE BANK
I’m on your side streets of freedom
freedom and creativity are one
courage and singing are one
generosity and modesty are one
little rabbit is running
it runs through the infinity of heat
street rebellions all around the world are the wind roses
winds of freedom love beauty of roses
winds are falling in love with roses
winds are fertilizing the world with new paths
one giraffe is giving a birth
little giraffe has fell out of two metres height but it’s already on its feet
it joins in
it begins its mission
and even more so plants
and stones even more so
I warp around my waist
through the plain trough the plain
towards the hills towards the hills
a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones
Proverbs, 17:22
money is freedom
money yearns for the rose winds
a poor boy is giving right now left over coins to the other boy
streams of compassion are flowing
wherever you are I’m with you
fairy tales are the only banks
fairy tales are the only banks that don’t go bust
inexhaustible banks
merciful banks
banks of parterres gardens and patrimony
banks of freedom courage and unselfishness

what a hair is it what a power pure tell tail everything is connected it became colder centred word path I’m walking I’m writing I’m watching I’m leading just follow me in step whiz of the flying gees I’m thinking of Miroslav Mandic which would be constantly red in vertical scroll over the screen if the average time for reading one blessing is seven seconds then what is written so far in Miroslav Mandic book would be red in 488411 seconds or 8140 minutes or 135 hours or 5,6 days God will give to finish Miroslav Mandic. then it would be red in 907200 seconds or 15120 minutes or 252 hours or 10,5 days if I slow down a bit for greater enjoyment Miroslav Mandic would be constantly scrolling on the internet or Miroslav Mandic Museum on big screen for fourteen days. then a new circle would form. and like that indefinitely circles of singing circles of creating circle of singing by circle of creating step by step in the rhythm of my walking more than half an hour I was counting how long is Miroslav Mandic Reading of the book Miroslav Mandic I was completely immersed when… … cleaning lady asked me if I could pour the water in the bucket there is always beautiful music playing in your place – she told me I thought that those were enumerators the doorbell rang again… … lady enumerator just got out of the apartment. she was good and kind. real wo-man. I explained to her everything and gave her the poem Oh Tenuous Poignancy. you are right – she told me on her way out the poem Oh Tenuous Poignancy has started to live and went into the world tenuous poignant wanderer I feel great in my body from the cleaning lady and lady enumerator I’m proud of you beautiful and good wo-men of mine
NIKE NIKES
ninety nine percent it’s calcaneus. I can feel it under my hand
said to me Sasa Danilovic chiropractic on Wednesday about the pain in my heel
good footwear is the most important
thank You Sasa Danilovic
on Thursday I bought new sneakers on the market
thank You Mirjana Lukic
the imitation of nike sneakers with air soles
they are five times cheaper than the original ones
the moment I put them on I felt pleasure in my feet and in heel and in spine
I have really worn for the last year and half of the Bid of Walking bad sneakers
I didn’t have money and I generally neglected that aspect of my existence
heel pain is reduced
wonder sneakers
I walked the Rose of Wandering in twenty three pairs of sneakers
so far I have walked the Bud of Walking in sneakers sandals and croaks sandals
I will now take the photo of them and put them into the museum
the tools for walking creating and singing
the oldest ones are the deep and
waterproof sneakers that I bought eight nine years ago
pleasant feeling in new sneakers I’m transferring to the hand of these words
I still feel the pain but it’s weaker
thirteen kilometres is a lot. six is optimal
said Sasa to me but he never suggested I should reduce the kilometres
through walking I started loving my feet and soles
through writing and drawing I started loving my hands and palms
through creating indescribable I
through tranquillity brain
through ecstasies heart
through fucking all beings

people who think through their hands thing beautifully
those people who love-kiss through their soles love-kiss tenderly
it was exciting when I was reading while walking
my legs are leading me. my hands are holding
a book. eyes are surrendering to the road and words
I’m merging with landscapes and words in
the book and I write all of that with my own words
I experience merging with all that is surrounding me and
somebody writes in the book about the experience of their merging
one and only goodness is constantly circling through air for us

I rejoiced too early. pain in the heel did not disappear
just carry on with the Song on Your Lips through the monk scientist poet taxi driver when you judge somebody, you receive their sin Prior Sava Rukumijski … all things are made out of atoms – tiny particles which are constantly in motion, attracting each other when they are a bit apart, but repelling each other when they are next to each other… Richard Feynman Marshland is bending in the darkness. Outside on the staircases. Daybreak is pounding and pounding on the grey-stone doors of the sea and the sun is frying the surrounding… Tomas Transtromer when I got out on the road I stepped on it geezer 220 km an hour taxi driver to his friends behind the locked yard doors for days now nobody picked up the fallen walnuts decisions are bright-reddish like an autumn stances are singing like poems moral deeds are feeding like the sun soles are having hard time heels are struggling Achilles’ Tendon is struggling poem is struggling I is struggling all poems are poems about the poem which is bothering me not as I wish but how God wants a woman is tiding up her hair while watching a leaf falling down to the ground another one is flying in front of my face I was present at the presence itself for the first time I saw the nudist family on the beach. harmony can be really felt as well as absence which I’ve been reading about Arabian Spring and American Fall are changing the world of one and only Africa I couldn’t walk the Rose of Wandering if I didn’t find the walking as dancing and singing I couldn’t walk the Bud of Walking if I didn’t find the walking as creating of the Bud of All Beings sameness of all beings same rights for all beings one and only love of bud permeates each being one and only love of the bud permeates each being while I’m retyping today’s blessings I’m enjoying again in the family of nudists in the Arab Spring and American Fall of the one and only Africa

TO MILICA
dear Mir, I wanted to send you my printed final graduate paper by mail but I don’t
have the money to print it, it’s too expensive for me. the file with all the photos is too big,
so I’m sending you the paper with no photos. L. Merenik suggested publishing the work
in form of a book and she is giving her best to find the potential publisher. but for me
your opinion about the work itself is the most important. the work should be further
edited for publishing. however, all of that is still just ideas and suggestions I’m getting.
but, if the work goes into any kind of public, then you can officially consider me
the traitor :-) I kiss you M
few days ago Milica Bogosavljevic sent me this e-mail
my Milica as you know all of that is very painful for me
so is Your final graduate paper Group Code – Invisible Art
pain transformed into love
I’m happy that You have finished it. I hope you enjoyed
and that it will give You strength to carry on going Your own way
everything I was doing in the group Code
belongs to the group Code and not to Miroslav Mandic
and everything I have lived created and sung after the brake up with the
group Code doesn’t belong to the group Code but to Miroslav Mandic and all beings
my Autobiography doesn’t belong to the group Code
Milica please take it out of Your final graduate paper about the group Code
with the group Code I took part in the struggle
for the right cause. right cause always wins but through power
you get to through winning right thing transforms into a lie and corruption
through braking up with the group Code art and studying I didn’t
want to make an artistic career and take part in winning and getting to power
poets and artists are engaged in fight for the right cause
professors and art historians are engaged in winning and getting to power
winners are writing history so is the case with the history of art
but they are killing the artists and art. the spirit of winning and winners
the spirit of art lives in artists and art and not in its history nor in any kind of power
struggle for the right cause is constant
right cause constantly escapes
it changes
it inspires and leads the brave
everything that is coming out of winning is a lie and corruption
I was twenty two. now I’m sixty two. it’s the same
common sensibility in the group Code I
broadened in jail for God sky and decisions
nobody was around at the time and now even more so
there is no language about it. it’s yet to be created
existing methods are killing both life and art
revolution of taste
fairy-tale life
art poem
life is much more than life – art
art is much more than art – poem
life and art are much more than life and art – God
what I only had a notion of back then was
one and only piece of art that was yet to be created
one and only poem that should be sung
one and only God that one should become
what was just a hunch back then now it is. everything in one man
past present and future art is one. one art. one freedom. one being
God
through throwing myself into God’s arms my arms have become art to all beings

I’m recognising myself in everything
I had little success in my life

they are Your success as well

guard my heart in Your bosoms
guard my brain between Your thighs
