September in the trolleybus:
Sun, autumn, sweat, and heat.
Today is “market Sunday”:
We’re getting food to eat!
All in this crowd are funny:
Some carry fruits, some – shoes.
I’m helping dear Mommy:
I hold an apple to chew.
Potatoes, “Beer-n-lobsters”,
Dill, diary products, coats…
Dogs – dirty, hungry, homeless –
Are watching butchers close.
Like foxes, twist pickpockets
In clusters among “hens”*
And rush with stolen wallets
Towards those holes in fence.
In muddy clothing, cripples
Spit, curse, and beg, and tease
Under the slogan: “People!
We’re building communism!”
