Gunnar Svensson kollar stämningar, dofter och varsel i Bagdad. Han går och klipper sig, lär känna kvarterets skoputsare, källarmästaren på krogen, gubbarna utanför moskén. Allt är lungt och sömnigt dagarna innan bomberna börjar falla.

En rund skäggig beduin såg mig i ögat först, påstår han. Jag håller med. Efter tre minuter är vi uppe i 160.

Frisören frågar, jag frågarut honom. Om livets nödtorft. Jo det rullar och går. Håret växer även i ofärdstider.

Vägen är bra, bred och utan tjälskott. Svart asfalt pumpas upp dagligen från underjorden i detta land.

MARTIN AND HARRY

In the late fifties
Martin Luther King
and Harry Belafonte
had a performance for Unicef
in the Opera House
of Stockholm

I was staying in the Opera House
with a beer
when these big fellows
from US entered

than I pushed Harry
with my left arm
and just said:
HALLO
and he answered:
HELLO

Pigion" PIGEONS

Do you know where
the pigeons are?

They are just sitting at the top
of the Empire State Building.

And what are they doing?

They just look at the people wondering:
What are they doing up here
ALL THESE PEOPLE ?

 


Everyone is talking about how Ransby has found its place on the World Atlas.

Now every New York City dweller can long away while they relieve their pittbulls on nearby lamp posts.

Her hands were worn from hard labor but her teethless kisses were of the softest kind.
