I BUY OLD CLOTHES



I buy old clothes.
I buy old clothes and cut them into stars.
Music is the food of love.
I love music.

I write poetry.
I write poetry and buy old clothes.
I sell old clothes and buy music;
If I could also be a fish in a bottle of booze...



Orhan Veli Translated by Murat Nemet-Nejat, 1989
