“ALEV HIRSIZI Bugün şöminede güneş yaktım. Sonradan farkına vardım. Uzun hikâye. Önce bir tohum aldım. Toprağa umutla attım. Bir müddet karanlıkta kaldı. Sonra aniden ortaya çıktı. Ben suladım, o büyüdü, Derken ortaya bir yaprak çıktı. Yaprak güneşe uzunca baktı. Tüm gücünü ondan aldı. Artık nasıl yaptıysa yaptı, Yaprak gövdesini güneşten yarattı. Zannımca güneşi kendine ruh yaptı. Zamanı geçen haftaydı. Dalları itinayla budandı. Sonrası çok kolaydı. Attım şömineye bir dalı, Kibrit ona özünü hatırlattı. Güneşten topladığı alevi Sadece serbest bıraktı.”

“First there is the World. Then there is the Other World. The Other World is where I sometimes lose my footing. In its calendar turnings, its preinvented existence. The barrage of twists and turns where I sometimes get weary trying to keep up with it, minute by minute adapt: the world of the stoplight, the no-smoking signs, the rental world, the split-rail fencing shielding hundreds of miles of barren wilderness from the human step. A place where by virtue of ha ing been born centuries late one is denied access to earth of space, choice or movement. The brought up world; the owned world. The world of coded sounds: the world of language, the world of lies. The packaged world; the world of speed in metallic motion. The Other World where I've always felt like an alien.”
