::Ilija Djurovic::<\/h4>\n

K.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not have O\u2019Hara\u2019s lunch break, for no one ever cooks.<\/p>\n

I have a job. I ride a rickshaw through the city of Berlin.<\/p>\n

I feed (the) Kreuzk\u00f6lln.<\/p>\n

I have my sick leave continued till they lay me off.<\/p>\n

My father does the same in Podgorica. Also a driver.<\/p>\n

My girlfriend says, we\u2019re genetically non-workers.<\/p>\n

I tell her we are organic intellectuals.<\/p>\n

She tells me to forget about that Gramsci shit.<\/p>\n

I say she is a capitalist. A female-capitalist, I say.<\/p>\n

I tell her I refuse to be shoved about by hipster pricks.<\/p>\n

She tells me I am a non-worker, anyway.<\/p>\n

But, today, out of the blue, Karla from Costa Rica joined me at my table.<\/p>\n

She said she is my guardian angel with an 18-year-old son<\/p>\n

And a 16-year-old daughter and that in South America one can still live<\/p>\n

Quite, quite nicely. Much better than in stinky Berlin, she says.<\/p>\n

I tell her I am a rickshaw rider and happy. She laughs,<\/p>\n

That beautiful dark Costa Rican mum.<\/p>\n
