TEXT 3 Z 14
MONTHLY
Slunecnik: Antonio probably isn't your real
name, is it? But that doesn't matter. So write M.
„What is your name, sir?“ – „Antonio“
„And further, sir?“ A dash lasting two years – „Deli.
Antonio Deli.“
„Is that truly your name? It sounds a bit – well –“
People don't believe me – they don't believe my own name,
They don't believe me – they say I'm like the Moon – just as
Capricious, restless, extravagant; yet I don't move
My face even a single degree, but give me
A calendar month and I'll reveal more to you than Kursk,
I'll keep you in suspense until the very last second, even if
On your Flammarion you conjure up the right course,
Even though, much to your annoyance, I show only one face, you know?
Mesicnik: Name, you know, Desna, go ahead
let your imagination run wild. Now you know more than me
about yourself. But that's a matter of fear.
Slunecnik: No fear at all, but surely
you know what people are like. I'm 22 and I'm alone.
From LBC. What were you doing here and what do you do?
Mesicnik: Only coincidence brought me to
LBC. I don't go there. Now I'm lying down
in bed. Tomorrow I'm going to Prague to see my
brother. Otherwise, I'm wasting away.
Sunflower: Nothing is weighing me down. How is it that the
letter was sent from ZB? I appreciate your
courage.
Moonflower: I work there a bit over the summer,
sitting and answering phones. It greatly enriches
the spirit. Courage? I am alone
because I love the wrong people
Martina, Marinek – and now another M.
Slunecnik: Antonio, we are a bit
alike when it comes to loving people. Slowly
I am drifting off to dreamland and so I'll let
myself dream of something beautiful (maybe about you).
Slunecnik: And I will imagine for instance
what you look like. But you could
write. Keep writing, when I'm not yet
floating on dream clouds, then I
will reply. Micky.
Sunflower: Allow me one more
inquisitive question. How on earth did you guess that
I wouldn't throw that letter into the trash and that I would be so
timid and write back? It is true that every
person is eager for new
experiences. Such beautiful dreams, you with that
magnificent name.
