Poem To the Alcoholic Russian Bear
Dima howled from his own
snoring,
he wokes up weak, at the
leather table,
Dima is not somewhere in the
trash
or in the village, in the hay.
Mumble, crazy,
You are my people cursing,
abomination comes with smoke
from the black man's mouth,
he doesn't afraid, claw foot,
afraid neither God nor the
Devil.
Dima sits down at the
computer,
clicks letters long terribly,
and his face is wild.
It is a pity that the loser
does not have cirrhosis of the
liver
the wife hides the bottle of
vodka.
