Călin Georgescu sighs, “Ode to me!”, disappointed that he didn’t make it to the second round of the Romanian presidential election in 2024 or the first round in 2025. He collapses theatrically on the steps of the Bucharest Prosecutor’s Office—the self-proclaimed winner recites with puff and desperately as a manifesto of his cause.
Călin Georgescu recites the poem Ode to Me (video)
by Andrei-Ovidiu
After I've passed into the abyss
Like the crooked rails of fate sleeping.
And you through Spain picking strawberries
Cheap Badantes on octogenarians riding.
Unhappy are the fates that chose you
in the absolute path of my salvation
by you men: went to waste!
and to you ladies…many hammers.
You stay waiting for the garden gnome
or the alcoholic, mustaching impassively
the bagel smeared up to the neck with taint
the nerd waiting for the invisible subway
the lady with the proverbs written on the bidets
the naive zootechnician as if cut from poplar
the Ceaușescu forged with an iron fist
and the ephemeral and constipated shrapnel.
stammerer: Dacian head, a badger, a small
the aide of the small gallery,
because I go, where I go, Birlic
is one who pokes me in the hedgehog.
and the rest doesn't matter anymore, ragged
white, mistral, centaur and with longing
they came on my belt, on my tailcoat
and they called me Iliescu and Vadim in chorus.
I turn on my back, I punish myself
I can't stand on stumps, on lanterns
I paint with my mind's eye in burlesque style
And the fear it brings to my back
Criselda, my chrysalis, and this crisis
"I feel them in the breeze after the bad walnut!"
I wither in my wife's eyes
And I know it makes me think of prison.
