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

AUTUMN PLOUGHING
I am god
each name celebrates me
because each name contains a bit of humour
yesterday’s poem from the book I am You are I
gentleness spatters over all beings
get an orgasm in my glory
poet has it easy
he sings
he doesn’t think
he love-kisses
God’s poem
while my paprika is cooling down I’m writing so that my feelings don’t get cold
life you’re gorgeous – thank You for making me worthy living You
I’m breathing in
I’m writing
I’m recognising myself in everything
I had little success in my life
and like all the people without success sometimes I’m sad
sometimes bitter. sometimes moody. sometimes worried. sometimes lonely
but these words are more than success
my eyes are burning from Your gaze that is going across these words
they are Your success as well
one is the music of success
success of the music of all beings
we are a rainbow
testimony
one and only one
on Saturday and Sunday I was again drinking weak white wine
God give that I drink wine and be even healthier
through wine I am the poem of one
one kiss
one mating
one truth
I wanted to give You a call because I feel You close but I couldn’t
because the closeness is much more than our closeness my close-like-woman
procreator of my joys
mother of all of my beings
guard my heart in Your bosoms
guard my brain between Your thighs
ISKRENO MI RECI TELL ME HONESTLY
when I’m alone I feel all beings
when I’m with You I feel myself when I’m with God I feel You circling when I spread the margarine over the bread when I feel through wind the landscapes through which the wind is blowing when a child feels it for the first time when a girl feels it for a first time when a boy feels it for a first time when Vladet Jerotic being eighty seven years old publishes the book Non-drowsy God’s Eye in the Miracles of Nature when maths joins discovering and singing the immortality when I see Ludwig Wittgenstein’s face I see my face in youth when everything I have learnt from Borges I swap for what I’m now learning from now when a pussy gets moist love for thinking transforms into thinking of love when a cock gets hard everything that is transforms into tenderness when something somewhere I feel that something here when highest branches are swinging towards deepest roots when everything turns into everything and that’s how everything is protected when I stop writing when I start writing as if I’m writing for the first time when it just blazes blazes through Your heart well You are I You are a Tisa of my life (Tisa is a river in Serbia and the name consists of “Ti” – “You” and “sa” – “with”, TN) You are my river a river to all the rivers a river to the steps by which I flow a river through which You flow towards me a river through which I flow into You sometimes it seems to me that You are music – tell me honestly are You the music You are rippling You are buzzing
GETTING OLD
I don’t know when I started getting old but from today I’m starting to write about my aging
disgust over myself when I was twenty six – when I felt how by getting into mature years I’m losing the very last leftovers of innocence – which is why I went towards the new innocence – here I pronounce the beginning of me getting old it continued with the fear of death from jaundice which happened to me when I was thirty two with first glasses when I was thirty eight with the age spots on my hands with not jumping into water any more with increase in dioptre. with prostate problems with going to bed around midnight and not any more at two-three am with hearing loss. grey hair. declining body’s resistance with dentures. dry eyes. slower thinking. calcaneus with first fear that I felt while walking pass aggressive young boys in the night with less coffee. with traces of toothpaste on my clothes with increased loneliness but also through greater opening to the life itself. through surrendering to love itself. through coexistence with all beings. beings of goodness and beauty. beings of truth and freedom. through breathing God’s grace aging is more sexual than sexuality in puberty I am god sexuality of sameness today’s poem from the book I am You are I following of the heart and mind mystical oneness of all beings every year on 26th October in twentieth blessing of that day I write in Miroslav Mandic Robert Walser name is a poem walt whitman fuckable of the fuckable fuckable to the fuckable charming incorruptibility I enjoy in You my friend I just can’t get enough of You my beloved beloved life poem my lover You are my You-are-I beloved You-a

I AM I OF EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING
I AM I OF EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING The life of the world goes on by somebody's will – somebody is doing some kind of work with the life of this world and with our lives. In order to have the hope of understanding the meaning of this will, it is first of all necessary to fulfil it, to do that which is wanted of us Leo Tolstoy I’m excited by somebody’s will which is doing some kind of work I’m imagining and surrendering to that miraculous work if You touch Your nose then we did the same thing in joy of all beings within that work grace with violins grace with street corners grace with horse’s neighing sometimes my writing is nothing else but neighing continuation of our conversations on the corner violin-like between the fingers I’m thirsty of You my male-friend I’m yearning for You my female-friend I love You more and more with all Your faults and I’m more and more against each and every one of them only the soul and goodness of a loyal whore can save You from Yourself every group accepts with deepest respect somebody who admits the evil deeds that members of their group committed it’s not too clear the way I wrote this but everything is so clear that it can’t be clearer every group in most horrible way condemns as a traitor everyone who admits the evil deed that they themselves have committed evil deeds are done by our mothers and fathers and their mothers and fathers we are doing evil as well as they are because we are hiding evil done by our mothers and fathers and on top of that we are obliging our kids to hide our evil through all beings both ours and theirs are gone and the goodness of one and only being permeates all beings sex is surrendering ourselves to the other love is surrendering ourselves to everybody and everything I all beings I of the knee-kneel-down I joy of a soul I You with the word I I sing the pronoun I in every being I am Your I.

MIROSLAV MANDIC REVOLT AGAINST WOMEN
revolt against women
a sudden one revolt through love revolt through refinement and non-hurting Miroslav Mandic Revolt against women is dedicated to You my wife and to all women who were created through beauty and fertilized with God’s nobleness Miroslav Mandic Revolt doesn’t hurt a single woman it rather encourages for beauty and nobleness I never met a woman who revolted against female culture I know only two men who revolted against male culture when I was sixteen I revolted against male killings and crimes that are celebrated through myths and schools men are killing each other. women are stultifying each other I spent whole life being compassionate towards women now I’m disgusted with all of that because a lot of times I felt women insensitivity primarily towards their partners which they are insidiously crazily and to extinction fighting with for domination women are unbearable with their seduction and inability to open up and let everything into themselves they are egotistical to nothingness by abolishing their sexuality they are in constant incestuous connection with their children not allowing them to brake off from them and conveying all sin onto them men are cheating on women with their property and weapons women are cheating men with their motherhood and children men are dominating over women with their heroisms and systems women are dominating over men with their sacrifices and chaos’s men are celebrating killings and they rule through them women are dazed with motherhood and they rule through it of course as long as there is property women are entitled to the half of it like with all other things and of course a woman in existing system is exposed to male violence and that is unforgivable my woman join me – all women join me this is non-violent revolt against women and female culture be-whole all women revolt against women and female culture all men revolt against men and male culture remaining-whole all women revolt against men and male culture all men revolt against women and female culture be-whole-and-healed women look up to those rare women love-kiss each other to Penelope. Mother of God. Rabia. Mother Theresa. Emily Dickinson. Gertrude Stein Nadezhda Mandelstam. Simone Weil. Billie Holiday. Isidora Sekulic. Amy Winehouse… my beloved ones I’m loyal to you and I love-kiss you nor female nor male but a child not even a child but all younglings not even all younglings but each being not even each being but all beings not even all beings but You not even You but I not even I but God bud
