I think it was in the spring of 2002 that I made my decision to prepare to abandon the UK. It was around that time that I entered my regular bank branch in the city centre, which had just reopened after renovation, to find that it lacked a single human being. The entire staff had been replaced by machines.
Mislim da je to bilo u proleće 2002 kada sam doneo odluku da se pripremim da napustim Veliku Britaniju . Negde u to vreme sam ušao u moju regularnu bankarsku filijalu u centru grada , koja je upravo ponovo otvorena posle renoviranja, da bi saznao da unutra nema ni jednog ljudskog bića.
bez kiše / u usporenom vazduhu /
zamagljenih pogleda / otežanog disanja
ležimo i gledamo nalevo
u osušene listove palme / podivljalu puzavicu
