HARD TIMES



By Güray Onok


We were naive  boys
Acting stolen Hollywood roles
You were Van Damme I was Taxi Driver

Violence was bullying  the nights
Even homeless cats setting  gangs 
Otherwise they were not able to exist

Nobody had time for rest
Daddies  work and work and work
And the sons fail consistently
Making forced hopes true

Strange tired  little men 
Were  silently smoking blue 
Squated down
In front of factory silhouettes

We  envied  them  from  afar.

Left the childhood behind,
We  are grown  by monumental    pains .                      
Looking for something in , on , near,  above 
The colossal  Iski   pipes  .

Even Van Damme changed in the course of time
Boys  ceased to  stop keepin on  outworn karate saloons
And started to smell  spicy atmosphere
Of trendy billiard saloons
That means girls in short school uniforms,
Scent of cigarettes and  deodorants
Anybody had a flick knife to pull  on anybody else
And anything was possible.

The cheap happiness of Güzel Marmara’s
The roads  towards Laleli
Discovery of woman body

Above all, our inexpressible anger

Only the fishes who ate each other
Could survive to university from high school
We were waiting for the  mermaids
By the sacred shores of our dreams

You are Bruce willis I am  Jeremy  Irons
