IT USED TO BE CALLED 2006

DO YOU REMEMBER 2006?

I BELIEVE I CALLED MY BODY 2006 IN 2006.

I BELIEVE I LIVED IN A TWO-BEDROOM FLAT IN 2006.

I BELIEVE I TOOK THE BUS TO WORK IN 2006.

I BELIEVE I TOOK THE BUS AND THEN THE METRO TO WORK IN 2006.

I BELIEVE THE ROUTE TO WORK WENT LIKE THIS IN 2006:

FIRST I TOOK THE BUS AT THE STOP NAMED 'U PAMATNIKU',

THEN I RODE THE BUS TO THE RED LINE METRO STATION 'FLORENC',

THEN I TOOK THE METRO TO 'HLAVNI NADRAZI',

THEN I WALKED THROUGH THE PARK WITH GYPSIES SLEEPING,

THEN I WENT UP IN A GLASS ELEVATOR,

THEN I WAS AT WORK

IN 2006


NOW IT IS 2011.

I DO NOT RIDE A BUS OR METRO TO WORK IN 2011.

I WORK AT A CO-OP GROCERY STORE.

SOMETIMES I WALK THERE.

I AM A CASHIER.

I STAND IN A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE COME TO TALK TO ME.

I ASK THEM HOW THEY ARE FEELING TODAY.

I ASK THEM FOR MONEY AND THEN I ASK THEM TO LEAVE.

EVERY DAY I HAVE A 30-MINUTE BREAK.

GOING UPSTAIRS TO THE BREAK ROOM

I IMAGINE MY BODY ENCASED IN GLASS

RISING LIKE AN ELEVATOR TO ANOTHER PLACE

I IMAGINE MY BODY IN 2006.
