Na fontannie są trytony
(There are Tritons on the Fountain) - Jarosław Siwiński

there are tritons on the fountain
might be dangerous
once lived on King Sigismund’s column
then crept onto the fountain
an invasive species as they are
and the fountain kept wandering
but why
it stood by the Mickiewicz statue
no, sorry, it was Mickiewicz who arrived where it stood
and then near Słowacki
no, sorry, it is Słowacki who now stands where it used to stand

since the one who stood there before is no more and it’s good
anyway, the fountain kept wandering
now it stands where the good films are
but why
perhaps it was looking for some other, special kind of water
so now it stands where the films are good
sometimes
