лежу за решёткой...

I am laying behind the bars
In a very remote land
Doesn’t matter – it could be Mars
Or some sequel with happy end

It’s preposterous all day long
It’s abominable and wet
I don’t know why I belong
To this anthroposophic net

With my butt I’m suppressing bed
With my thoughts – my delightful plans
What's the difference – white or red?
Bottled, corked or in nasty cans?

Sitting room is about sit
Dining room is about dine
Lads are proud that they can spit
And self-hateful that sometimes whine

Through the bars you can give a hand
You can touch, you can pet – can feel
Can bring circus or jazz-rock-band
I shall listen and watch and film

Eating hyper-delicious food
Drinking 'Chivas' and 'Johnny Walker'
I'll be nevertheless in mood
Of lock-outed pissed off docker

For your gifts wouldn't set me free
For 'SVOBODA'(*) is undivided
It's substantial – do agree!
It has been understood, provided
(*) Russian for 'freedom'

Undivided like human 'I'
Undivided like 'yinh' and 'yanh'(*)
I am trying to simplify
Make it clear for every 'pjanh'(**)
(*) pronounce this co-literation softly, like 'gn' in 'cognac'
(**) Russian for 'drunkard(s)'

Who was brought up without whip
Not abused: neither sickle nor plow
Will accept my secluded weep
While respectfully saying 'wow'

Stars and stripes are for Uncle Sam
Stripes and straps are for me and Daddy
Kitchen – Mammy's, as well as jam
Piglet's hero of mine, not Teddy

Waving sable, machete, scythe
One can kill any living creature
I would rather destroy some myth
Wave some visa, some tax, some teacher

Those which are on purpose bad
Which with grid disconnecting lovers
Which with greed driving doers mad
Which betraying all under-covers

I would rather be eating weeds
Wrapping body in old drape coat
Selling out-of-felt-made beads
Than be 'honored' to chose scape-goat

I am rather '.exe' than '.doc'
Though granted honoris causa
Rather puppy than rocky jock
Rather Friday than Robinson Crusoe

I'm a sinner – and very big!
I deserved to be barred and banned
Maybe I am a real pig
But I'm sure: that what He planned.
