Dashing proletarians, having eaten vodka with a kilechka,
|
They rush to their undergrounds to establish a struggle, -
|
And I'm lying in the herbarium, pinned to the board with a hairpin,
|
And I scratch the tree with my fingers until it hurts.
|
I'm writhing on a carnation, but I don't change my position.
|
Around - dung beetles and small dragonflies, -
|
I was familiar from childhood - I caught them, dug,
|
He pressed, - but now I myself got into insects.
|
Under all the exhibits there are enamel planks,
|
Everything is strictly scientific - the class and type are indicated ...
|
I was lying with these guys in a glass jar,
|
We fought - it's for the best: I found out who is poisonous.
|
I mentally imagine myself in a big bed, -
|
But under me is written: "Unseen before" ...
|
I was a homo reader, I was a sapiens,
|
My class is a mammal, and the species ... already forgot
|
Was it blowing in my face, in my back, in a pea coat or in a robe I -
|
He strove, dyed with blood, as they called, to the hut, -
|
But on you - pushed into visual aids -
|
I am angry and dumbfounded hanging on the wall.
|
Decorated as marriageable, I'm ashamed, like a student, -
|
Solid bumblebees are buzzing that it is necessary to obey,
|
And butterflies giggle at a strange exhibit, |
Centipedes grunt and pupae sting.
|
My former brethren are moving towards me with fear -
|
Two-legged, intelligent, - two write - three in the mind.
|
They will write Izhitsu - their eyes are not tender, -
|
One squeamishly pointed at me and brought out a summary:
|
“So, contacts have not been established with him, and we are not waiting for them,”
|
That is why, citizens, he lies among insects.
|
Thinking is not developed in him, and Che-Pe is always with him, -
|
And here he can, perhaps, spin on the navel.
|
They take it, don't they?! |
— I was not found in the field!
|
This is a stupid mistake - you will see a flaw, -
|
They will punish those who confused, they will force them to reject,
|
And I will fall into the subgroup of at least monkeys.
|
No, not a mistake - the action took place on me, -
|
So that I start to grovel down with my belly, up my back, -
|
Here I lie, disheveled, drawn,
|
Intentionally classified as a creeping beetle.
|
The worm does not bow with me, but the gadflies with horseflies
|
They have an aversion to dunghills, -
|
Snobby creatures are content with gossip,
|
And I need communication with people like me!
|
He warmed up a dystrophic cricket - a flea blurted out, a nit, - |
And lo and behold - two grated bugs from the third subspecies, -
|
The half-strangled cricket whistled at half strength,
|
But disturbed by two nails, he sat down.
|
Or maybe everything will be checked and seasoned with sauce ...
|
In the end, after all, a plank is not a block, they say, -
|
Everything will fall in love and endure, I even began to like
|
Young sedge and silkworm cocoon.
|
Yes, I am pleased with wasps - they do not smell like a dog,
|
Among them there are individuals with an aspen waist.
|
And by the way, suddenly something will be born from a cocoon
|
Such that from curls and that has a chest ...
|
The spider burrows on my brain, the bugs are swarming - there is no rest,
|
A beautiful wasp dances as a bride ...
|
Let something brew, and there - at least for three carnations -
|
And from three nails, as usual, the road is to heaven.
|
In my frowning brain, fear pours over the wrinkles:
|
The hornet will be my brother-in-law - but what will become my son? ..
|
But I really don’t want the drone to be my father-in-law!
|
It's time already, it's time to strain and rise!
|
When alive we were poked with sharp pins -
|
The bees flapped their wings, the ants squeaked,
|
Together we mumbled grief - all pierced with needles - |
Let us forget who we were, my comrades!
|
I am a little arrogant, but there is a lump of bitterness in my throat:
|
Understand, I, a biped, got into insects!
|
But who will save us, help us out, who will take us off the board?!
|
Follow me - get off the hairpins, fellow citizens of the beetles!
|
And, as always in history, we arched our backs at once, -
|
Though the wasps and gundosili, but whoever is strong is right, -
|
We first drove out bedbugs from our territory
|
And they threw the spiders behind an old bookcase.
|
The scandal will then subside, but we are all at home,
|
And they are doing, it seems, not at all an insect.
|
And I - I'm basking in the bath without any offense there ...
|
It's a pity, another one has already been nailed over my plank. |
