“I'm a human being and I've got thoughts and secrets and bloody life inside me that he doesn't know is there, and he'll never know what's there because he's stupid. I suppose you'll laugh at this, me saying the governor's a stupid bastard when I know hardly how to write and he can read and write and add-up like a professor. But what I say is true right enough. He's stupid, and I'm not, because I can see further into the likes of him than he can see into the likes of me.”

“umorila sam se od ženskaste poezije
i podređivanja
sad sam jaka i nimalo meka
motam duhan kao bradati Turčin
rakijama od meda, imele i šljiva
ispirem umišljene ljubavi
kada hodam, korak mi je vojnički
i tuče asfalt kao psovka
kada pomislim da ću se pretvoriti u djevojčicu
nakitim ruke narukvicama
i zveckam do kavane, do luke, do kalete
do prvog kantuna
na kojem se mogu smijati
kao žena
promuklog glasa i prejake šminke
žena sa napuklim srcem i predispozicijama za artritis
od previše pisanja, od preumornih baka i njihovih genetskih oporuka,
od pranja suđa u hladnoj vodi
i grčevitog držanja za male utopije.”
