It's not true that some Chinese
|
They live in the Celestial Empire and read Confucius.
|
Have you ever seen sunsets on the Nabka,
|
Reading good books and grabbing hacks?
|
At a time when the great red sun
|
Falls into the Volga, illuminating with the light of the sky,
|
And you and your friends who are already in tattoos,
|
You talk about life, about were and weren't,
|
It passes, but for everyone in a different way:
|
Someone sees her in turbidity, someone in rhinestones,
|
Someone waking up sees the morning, someone sees the evening,
|
But both this and that are essentially infinite.
|
I want the sun over my head
|
Look at the sky and the surf
|
washing slippers on the sidewalks,
|
Along the dark arches and along my favorite nabka.
|

|
At that rare time when I'm not on the Internet,
|
I go out into the city, peering through the windows,
|
It's strange, Leningrad all got wet,
|
And this is a stupid coincidence
|
That the shops are all busy and there are no friends on them,
|
Well, okay, I'll go to the Trinity market,
|
And everything would be nothing, but this badly laid out tile
|
Just after the rain, puddles accumulate here,
|
And it seems like a drain is everywhere, but why the fuck is it needed,
|
And these drops that are mixed with a sharp wind
|
They are issued in equal proportions on each meter.
|
I walk among the lights of houses and shops,
|
among cheap cars and limousines,
|
Among wheelbarrows khachikov, laundresses, I write these lines
|
Every day from morning until late at night.
|
I want the sun over my head
|
Look at the sky and the surf
|
washing slippers on the sidewalks,
|
Along the dark arches and along my favorite nabka.
