Arguments at Work, and Tee-Heeing, Ha-Ha-ing Before, During and After
Alexander Androv
Translated from the Bulgarian · Спорове в работата и хихикане, хахакане преди по време и след това
Our arguments, hehehe,
and their motives, hihihi,
with all the weighty reasoning,
hoho haha haha ha ha he hi ho…
Even, hee hee hee, my handful
of admirers, hahahaha,
who rang me up
in the middle of
serious discussions (hehehehe)
to ask whether I was free
that evening.
And I explain to them that
I am free this evening
and that I don’t want that to change
(my freedom)
by our going out (hehehehe)
somewhere together.
And through most of the moments
of tee-heeing and ha-ha-ing
my mind soars above thought
and the two of them together
tee-hee and ha-ha
high above me
and somewhere, hee-hee,
far away.
