PHASE
written by: Grzegorz Wróblewski
With professional sport in our youth,
anything can happen when it comes
stiffened phase of old age
– she explains to me at 23:14.
Well… I’m a good poet, aren’t I?
Say it immediately – she becomes
cold & offensive.
Leave me alone – I say and quickly disappear,
questionably impressed by the slogan
with a stiffened phase
of old age.
