Потерялась в сексе, как в тесте,
И остыла булка давно,
Что ты чертишь на лобном месте,
Карту в жизнь или вход на дно?
Вечерины, тусеры, свинги,
Эх, родные, подайте рубля,
Чтоб достойно идти по Жизни
Надо вовремя снять с Агня.

This poem speaks through the voice of a woman lost in the illusion of freedom. Parties, swingers, nightlife — none of it warms her anymore. “The bun’s gone cold.” The question is clear: is this a map to life or an entrance to the void? The poem doesn’t moralize — it simply reminds us that even unleashed freedom needs a pause. Reassessment isn’t weakness — it’s a return point to oneself.
Кардиган и Коверкот
Гладили малыху в рот.
Лапсердак сидел, вопил,
Смаковал кайфовый чил.
Гройсе Гликовая Шикс
Пожирала жадно Твикс,
Согревала и строчила
Леопардовая Сила.

This poem is a neon fable where each figure speaks in their own dialect of flesh and ritual. Everything’s weird, glitched, and personal. Cardigan, Covercot, Glikova Shiksa — they’re not characters, they’re urban archetypes. To be yourself means not explaining — just vibrating as you are. That’s individuality: not being what’s expected, but being what can’t be avoided.
