Germenii

Trăgea

aerul în piept

ca într-un fel de halucinaţie

sufocat de sentimentul neputinţei,

răsturnându-şi capul pe spate.

Îşi holba ochii cu sălbăticie

peste tâmplele înguste

ale germenilor de prostie…

The germs

Was filling

his lungs with air

like having a hallucination

suffocated by the feeling of  helplessness,

leaning his head back.

Was wildly goggling his eyes

over the narrow temples

of the folly germs…
