What does the cat purr in your ear?

 

 

Lilliputian Megapolis

 

 

 

They were in various stages of evolution,

They reeked of intrigues and whims,

Long time ago they answered right a grown-up question,

‘What do you want to be when you grow up, my kid?’

‘Dad, when I grow up, I will be a banker’,

Big money, big problems,

Their every day is the same,

Bankers don’t live a long life,

They are stuffed to the gills,

A banker’s life is a twenty four carat gold chain,

‘One day you’ll make me proud,

You are a smart young man,

No matter what happens,

Don’t be an artist,

Your every day will be hungry the same’,

When somebody asks himself a question,

‘What can I do all in all?’

‘In particular nothing,

The road to show business is open,

Get out of your shell’,

In her workspace they were football players,

It is a suggestive game,

Every pass is delight,

Every goal is penetration,

As to the rest they were her clients,

A client is always right,

Her clients were just a bit vainer than vain,

From the perspective of budget,

They were anything but small,

From the perspective of imagination,

They were a big fat ‘no’,

They knew where to find money,

It was the most difficult thing,

That’s why they feel to be more important,

Than Einstein, Gauguin and the Lord of the Ring,

Everyone can be taught,

How to dance and to be entertaining,

But how to find money,

It’s not for everyone,

From the fox trot point of view,

She talked and danced for the elite,

They were its majesty money,

They didn’t need to be anyone,

They were a lot of faces,

Post-processing blurred the film,

Cloudy thoughts,

Washed-out intentions,

Nobody wanted to be recognized,

Grown-ups played spy games,

If everyone who promised to love us kept their love word,

The Universe would be cleaner and bigger,

It would be pretty boring,

Love would be a boring sport,

So many of them were the past perfect,

They had existed and they had been gone,

As a gentleman and a romantic,

I couldn’t deprive her of my protection,

I might have loved,

Or I might not,

It’s my principles,

They don’t change for anything and anyone.
