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).

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?
