About this series

There are many obsessive old issues, big and small, important and unimportant, that have accumulated inside me. They are hanging in the centre of my mind, as if they all have a hook at the end. Whenever there is a gap and I don't know what to do out of boredom, the hanging issues come to my mind one after the other.

***

You may think I'm unbalanced. Unfortunately, I have to object to that too. If most of you think that I am unbalanced, you should question yourselves as to why. You are the reason why I have turned into a sick person. I don't want to complain or justify myself. When I think of all the things that have happened to me, the skin of my head itches and then it moves to my back. I smoke one cigarette after another and grind my teeth, and when I think of the man who stepped on my foot on the train the other day, I go crazy.

***

I got up and put on my cardigan. I heated some water. I made a strong coffee. I sat by the window and turned on my radio. Zeki Müren was singing and I was listening. The birds were awake, looking for their food. I came across a cat in the garden. I went and opened the door and called it in. It came and lay down on the sofa. So he was used to this house. He was not a stranger at all. After a while it came to my lap and settled down. I felt the comforting effect of touching a cat on my fingers. "Your name should be 'Lucky'," I said. He looked at my face and nodded. My travelling companion and I said hello to a new day and gave birth to the sun.

    Organik Hikayeler III: Organic Stories, #3

    İnsanlar para için birbirini üzüyor, hatta öldürüyorlar. Senin dünyanda para yok Duman: iyi ki yok! Birbirlerine yalan söylüyorlar, sen nankörsün, diyorlar. Kendilerini görmezmiş gibi, bir de kalkmışlar kedilere nankör diyorlar. Çok küçükken ailem ve çevremdeki büyükler bana yalan söylememem konusunda sıkça uyarılarda bulunurlardı. "Yukarıda Allah var, yalan söylersen seni taş eder" derlerdi. Çok korkardım. Peki o Allah; bu kadar yalan söyleyen insanları niye taşa çevirmiyor Duman? İnsanların söyledikleri ile yaptıkları neden bir olmuyor? Merhamet ve vicdan, insanlar büyüdükçe küçülüp yok mu oluyor? *** Konuyu değiştirmek istediğini anlamıştım. O yüzden sustum. Tanımaya çalışıyordum. Aslında tanımaktan daha çok, ruh halini çözmeye çalışıyordum. Bir anda duruyor ve sanki dünyada bir tek o varmış gibi kendi içine çekiliyor, bir müddet sonra da sanki tüm dünyayla konuşuyormuş gibi coşkuyla anlatıyordu. Tebessümle anlatırken, gözleri dolarak bitiriyordu. Bir sözün içerisinde tüm duyguları yaşıyordu ve bunu yaşamak için çok sevmek gerekiyordu. *** İnsanlara temas etmemek ve bulaşmamak için okumadım ben. Adımın önüne bir unvan eklemek değersiz geliyordu. Bu ülkede unvan, parayla satın alınabilecek kadar ucuzdu.  Zeki ve hassas bir insanım. Sorun belki de hem zeki hem de hassas olmaktı. Zeki insan hassas olamıyordu. Hassas olan insanda zeki olamıyordu. Hassas olmak, duygusal tepkimelere neden oluyordu. İşin içine duygusallık ve acıma hissi girince, zekâ buhar gibi uçup gidiyordu. Aptal olmayı seçtim. Kimse bana bulaşmıyor ve dikkate almıyor, böylece insanların gözünde değersiz oluyorum ve beni görmezden geliyorlar.
