Neighbor - Antonych lived so far, did not pester him with himself.
|
A place under the sun is nine meters in a communal apartment.
|
A crutch under the left in the morning, in a coat - and limped.
|
Neighbors called behind the eyes: "zipun on a stick."
|
And by night it's quiet - the click of the lock,
|
It smells of tobacco in the hallway,
|
Sigh on the armor - and snoring
|
Until morning.
|
Where the old man lost his leg - God knows.
|
God knows what other wounds there are.
|
And fought - did not fight,
|
Nobody asked a question.
|
So he lived and grew ridiculously stubble and reality.
|
On trifles, it used to be addressed to me:
|
- Such a thing, Alexander, lend until retirement in rubles,
|
I'll be back in a week, as promised.
|
He could not return the rubles -
|
I was ready to forgive him.
|
He lived poorly, he drank a lot,
|
And I would not have forgiven him.
|
No one knew his relatives and would not have recognized him in the future.
|
Fifty pensions - that's all the mail sent.
|
He did not live up to the last three days, and it turned out to die.
|
Neighbors saw from the keyhole.
|
And here in the kitchen near the pots,
|
Where they clean onions, where tulle floats,
|
Where only they knew what to scold,
|
Assembly: how to bury?
|
Where to put all his scarp, where?
|
Who will move in tomorrow? |
(trouble!)
|
And is there any relative? |
-
|
So let them bury!
|
So the day passed and — here they are! |
- jump and seed,
|
Sideways into the hallway, coughing mournfully,
|
One at a time, two at a time, three at a time, as relatives burst from the sky,
|
So unobtrusively and doggy style.
|
And here (not out of boast!)
|
Declined the degree of kinship,
|
Even a brother was found
|
With my son and with my ex-wife.
|
A list has been compiled, where the belongings are countless.
|
(And then, God forbid, what will leak to the neighbors!)
|
And by agreement of the parties:
|
Dividing - after the funeral.
|
And a day later, the old man fell ill at the last shelter,
|
The crows celebrated the wake with a hoarse kark.
|
New tenants are pouring lime with dichlorvos on the walls
|
And they lament: “Oh, how the floors shuffled!..”
|
On the door - a sign, a new font,
|
The last chair is stuffed into the elevator
|
Native mountain as if from the shoulders,
|
Otryat over the occasion for meetings.
|
The Furniture car rumbles at the entrance,
|
And the wife to her brother: “The furniture is not so hot ...”
|
Gullit-guessing kids:
|
- Who moved from the yard? |
