Does your angel often lift his head?...

Start your training program from the nearest Christmas - after four days you will be  
an old hand at your exciting exercise...

“From Children's Fun and Games”

When you're bored of everything else
try playing angel and old man
here are the rules:
trip up the old man so that he slams his face
on the pavement
the angel drops his head
give the old man 5 cents
the angel lifts his head
break the old man's glasses with a rock
the angel drops his head
give the old man your seat on the tram
the angel lifts his head
dump a chamber pot on the old man's head
the angel drops his head
say "God be with you" to the old man
the angel lifts his head
and so forth
then go get some sleep
you'll dream about either an angel or a devil
if it's an angel you win
if it's a devil you lose
if you don't dream anything
It's a draw

Andrzej Bursa  

Translated by: Soren Gauger

Andrzej Bursa (1932-1957) - Called the “stunt-man of literature”. A poet, journalist, prose-writer, and playwright. The legend of the ‘56 generation. An uncompromising artist and a rebel who particularly liked the aesthetic of ugliness. He was little known in his lifetime, but became a legend following his death.
