OCCUPY-WASH WITH FREEDOM
(Serbian word okupaj is pronounced the same as occupy, but it means wash. in Serbia
Occupy Movement is called the same, but due to the custom of transcribing names, it’s often written as Okupaj)

Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is at once
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is at once love
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is at once love once
first twelve definitions of freedom are behind me
I’m the freedom of this grass
I’m the freedom of the violet flowers in grass
I’m the freedom of young yellow dandelions
at once instead to Ada I went to Karaburma
I’m walking down the old Turkish cobbler through Zvezdara forest
I’m going down the muddy forest path
wet leaves of jasmine is wetting me
wow where this forest path had led me. here is only good
for plunging. just couple of steps and I would end up on a tree
mud is sticking more and more to my walking shoes
freedom is beautiful
the path is more narrow and hidden by branches
forest path has led me to the fence which I had to jump over
I’m cleaning the mud off of my walking shoes with an iron bar
in Nikola Doksat street I wiping my walking shoes of the grass
in Mirjevo Boulevard I’m sitting on warm asphalt and with warm water
from one remained puddle I’m washing my walking shoes from the forest mud
leaned on a traffic light post near London
I’m waiting to cross when green light comes on
I am a city hermit
everything is flat
everything is all the same to me

Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is forever only here and now
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom are temples of life
I’m getting wet in the rain of freedom
I’m walking through Terazije in the warm rain and enjoying
last night after several days my stomach was hurting again
it scared me so it was hurting even more
I’m saying that I was scared so that I wouldn’t be scared
for over ten days my back is hurting as well
prostate
I admit my stomach is hurting me a bit now as well but I’m also enjoying in slow walking
drizzling rain is remedy
everything is remedy
rain has stopped… it’s starting again
I’m coming back from walking
paper collectors are my neighbours who I rejoice to a lot
truck wind spreads my unbuttoned jacket
I love-kiss concrete steps that lead me to the First House of All Beings
everything I see on these four steps is indescribably beautiful
I think I could take photos of them every day
a pigeon has just landed on my window
to make a renowned sculpture of those plain and unnoticed steps
I’m in the elevator
I’m opening the First House of All Beings
the end
enough for a blessing

sixteen year old girl is standing next to the water and watching the pebbles and waves
grass is growing
purple colour of lavender has spread over the greenery
drizzling rain is wetting my face
frogs are croaking
this woman always walks alone around the lake
a lot of people are walking alone
there they are red roses
a white dog has spread across the asphalt
under the big tree tops I feel as if I’m in the temple
I’m sneezing – they say that from tomorrow it will be sunny
they are complaining for some reason – says
a man to me for the crows which are cawing on the tree
sun started to shine – savannahs in my body are green
I lift my head up and absorb the greenery of leaves
the art of walking transforms everything into art
walking of art transforms everything into walking
the smell of yellow sweet clover has struck me – where are You now
You are not around and You are my everything
loving You is immortality
stepping out

I’m actually listening to Elvis Presley singing Hound Dog on July 1st 1956
I’m reading Jobs’ biography with great pleasure
insanely great
Jobs’ favourite expression of delight
to put a dent into universe
Jobs’ expression for leaving his creative trace
my stomach is bothering and scaring me
i’m
powerless

Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is an ant that I just saw
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom
is resurrection of all beings which I just wanted
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom
is disappearing of the notion enemy for which I just jumped

Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is spring in my belly
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is free inhale and complete exhale
Art is freedom – occupy-wash with freedom is moment of love

Like-mindedness and Like-fuckability are the latest couple
here’s a bit of glorious wind for You
a young man is carrying slippers in his hands and walking barefoot over the pebbles
the young man that was walking over the pebbles is now reading a book
a man reading a book is one of the most exciting images for me
a couple but one
a man who wrote a book and a man who’s reading it
a man is sometimes female
a man is sometimes male
a man is sometimes just a man
beautiful and transient like a cloud
good-hearted towards every being
man is just one of the plenitude of beings
a being which love-kisses all beings
yesterday I saw that the pain in my stomach is located
in the circle where the name Miroslav Mandic is tattooed
Miroslav Mandic is painful for Miroslav Mandic
Miroslav Mandic please withstand Miroslav Mandic
Miroslav Mandic is the Bud of All Beings
Miroslav Mandic is the poem by Miroslav Mandic and the Miroslav Mandic Poem
Miroslav Mandic is this poppy that Miroslav Mandic is bowing down to
Miroslav Mandic is naked from the waist up
so that You would feel the warm sun on Your and his skin
little beggar who is begging on the crossroads is spitting on a man selling newspapers on the crossroads
