NEZNANAC

1. Ko je pekao zanat-pamćenja:
I ostao zaboravljen?

2. Ko je osnovao domovinu i zakon:
I osuđen-na-domovinu po zakonu?

3. Ko je izridao slova i jezike:
I čuo psovke i pokore?

4. Ko je u vladarima spoznao Milost
A oni u njemu bitangu?

5. Ko ne misli na omču oko vrata:
Ako se pojavi kometa?

6. Ko je uzdigao-žene toliko visoko:
Da ne mogu da siđu?

7. Ko je hitnuo svaki kamen u zvezde:
I ostao bez-krova-nad-glavom?

8. Ko je podmetao-požare u tuđa srca:
I postao led?

9. Ko je izmislio lice-Gospodnje:
A presvisne kad ga vidi?

10. Ko je posrkao svu mesečinu-s-Dunava:
I ostao žedan?
