Peti Krug I Gravitacija / The Fifth Circle and Gravity

 

PETI KRUG I GRAVITACIJA

Cicović je voleo da trči. Trčao je svaki dan po četiri kruga u parku, blizu njegove višespratnice, zgrade u kojoj je živeo.

Dok bi trčao Cicović je nekiput zapadao u „kreativnu mislenu filozofiju“, da to tako nazovemo i tada bi mu baš svašta padalo na pamet. Taj dan misli su mu tekle otprilike ovako: „ Ja više nisam mlad čovek, ali nisam ni star, moram danas da istrčim i peti krug...treba vremena da se...ma kakvog vremena! Za sve je kriva gravitacija. Gravitacija me od rođenja pritiska! - Cicović je za svoje godine bio u dobroj formi. Nastavio je usklađenom da trči a nastavio je i da ređa za njega neobične misli. On takvu vrstu misli nikada ne bi npr. pričao ženi ili sinovima, unučićima ponajmanje ali dok je trčao, tako je mislio da bi kasnije na te misli potpuno zaboravljao:

„… Dobro je da sam uopšte izrastao usled svih pritisaka, posebno gravitacionog, da je još jači to bi bilo nepodnošljivo...ne može se lako protiv gravitacije...sve što leti to leti ali i to mora s‘vremena na vreme da sleti i odomori, nešto i da padne, treba se čuvati...šta je?...pritisak tj. gravitacija...možda ima bića koja su non-stop u vazduhu, ko zna... to su sigurno nekakkva vazdušasta bića u tom slučaju i takva bića su, mora biti, možda u još manjoj ili nikakvoj meri, zavisna od gravitacije…ah, za nas - potpuna zavisnost...hm, ja nisam mali ali nisam ni veliki čovek, možda više nisam lep kao nekada, malo mi se izdužio nos i povećale su mi se uši, ali sve u svemu...i evo i eto, još malo i zavrašavam... peti krug!... to... ah šta znači vežba i koncentracija...to je to!“.

Cicović je nakon „petog kruga“ bio jako zadovoljan. Odšetao je kući da se istušira.

THE FIFTH CIRCLE AND GRAVITY

Cicovic loved to run. He ran four laps every day in the park, near the apartment building, where he lived.

While running, Cicović somehow fell into a "creative thought philosophy", let's call it that, and then all kinds of things would come to his mind, that day his thoughts flowed roughly like this: "I'm not a young man anymore, but I'm not old either, today I have to run the fifth lap... it takes time to... no matter how long, it's all gravity's fault. Gravity has been pressing me since birth!" - Cicović was in good shape for his age, he continued to run in a coordinated fashion, and he continued to have unusual thoughts for himself. He would never, for example, think that way. talked to his wife or sons, grandchildren at least, but while he was running, he thought so that later he completely forgot about those thoughts:

"... It's a good thing that I grew at all due to all the pressure, especially gravity, if it was even stronger it would be unbearable... you can't easily fight gravity... everything that flies, but even that must from time to time land and rest...what is it?...pressure ie. gravity...maybe some beings are non-stop in the air, who knows...they are air beings in that case and such beings must be, perhaps to an even lesser extent or not at all, dependent on gravity...complete dependence. ..um, I'm not small but I'm not a big man either, maybe I'm not as beautiful as I used to be, my nose got a little longer and my ears got bigger, but all in all... well, just a little more and the fifth round is over, what does that mean? exercise and concentration...yes!"

Cicović was very satisfied after the "fifth round". He walked home to take a shower.
