But, - I am a Russian Poet - the Honor and the Hop

  EPIGRAPHS:
  "P.S.: Zoryana POMADA, nutritionist of the Regional Men's Hospital:
   "In order for a man to grow and develop normally, he must eat 125 grams of meat, and - 100 grams of fish every day. After all, meat is the main source of protein and some vitamins, say, group B, which are simply not in plant foods, and they are absolutely necessary for the human body. A menu without meat dishes can lead to diseases of the liver, pancreas, immune system. Protein changes can also occur. Ukrainian men will be - lethargic, - it will be difficult to go to bed, - they will feel nauseous - when they copulate… ”

  "Кто последний? Я за вами".
  - Иосиф Бродский. "Представление. Михаилу Николаеву", 1986.

  "...Стои очередь и ждет...
  Кто-то спросит: "Что дают:", а уж потом встает.
  Кто-то грязными ногами - по голоам вперед,
  Кто-то через вход парадный, кто-то через черный ход.

  ...Впереди нас удача ждет,
  Кто-то выиграл сегодоня, кто-то так уйдет,
  Но если Вам не повезло - завтра првезет,
  Но если Вам не повезло - завтра повезет -
  Обязательно!.."
  - "Банановые острова", альбо Ю. Чернавского и В. Матецкого, 1983.

  "In a «semi-finished products» Euro-sop, country-shop[1], I got the azu[1] -
  And I carry it home in my bag…"

  "And from behind the counter not hiding at all,
  With a huge piece of illegal[2] meat, -"

  "Some old whore comes out, -
  A huge piece - you can't lift it!…"

  "W"ell, o'kay, if I still serve in the store
  It is clear - has rights, deserves…"

  "And then - a stranger and ugly
  And I'm a poet, I'm the pride of Russia, I'm!..."

  "I’ve been standing an waiting for half a day between strangers,
  But  HAPPINESS lives-dwells - with such old dirty (b)ladies-whores!..."

  [1]. «Azu - a traditional Tatar dish consisting of fried pieces of meat (beef, lamb, or young horse meat), stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce), onions, potatoes (usually with slices of pickled cucumber) in a spicy sauce.

“Illegalism is a tendency of anarchism that developed primarily in France, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland during the early 1900s as an outgrowth of individualist anarchism.[1][2] Illegalists embrace criminality either openly or secretly as a lifestyle. Illegalism does not specify the type of crime, though it is associated with theft and shoplifting.”
  “Illegalism is founded on egoist anarchism and the philosophy of Max Stirner as justification for criminal behaviour. However, not all illegalists are supporters of Stirner and his philosophy. Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang are recognised as notable illegalists. As left-wing anarchists, the illegalists strongly oppose wage labour and markets.”

How can you choose one poem out of 36,000 written by Prigov? Is it possible to discern hints of the Soviet literary nomenclature in the poem about the humiliating standing in line? Why is the violation of world order becoming the central theme of Prigov? ... "
