Старорежимная путана Носила синюю Монтану, И на шестерке приезжала Угомонить богатырей. Но мода, будто бы вернулась, И дочка маменьки проснулась, Одела синюю Монтану — Готова к выходу. Ой, вэй!
Yaroslav Kulikovsky. Kiev, 2021 (c). Part of the cycle: Poems on City Flesh and Power.
This poem satirizes the cyclical nature of fashion and behavior — how styles and attitudes return from mother to daughter in exaggerated or ironic forms. There's a wink at the freedom of self-expression, showing how it often manifests in the same symbols, just reframed. It blends critique and affection, capturing the absurd charm of generational repetition.
It’s playful, a bit cheeky, and leaves space for interpretation: is it liberation or just déjà vu in denim?
