Кобылки сходили с дистанции,
Ликовала только Констанция,
Кто-то стал ура-визажистом,
Колхозницей с мужем стилистом.
И только насосная станция
Неслась по тропе террористов,
В тапок к последней инстанции —
Хуяк — и в дамках с министром.

Yaroslav Kulikovsky. Kiev, 2019 (c).

This poem is like a riot at a fashion show. There are no weak characters here—only different strategies. Some drop out, some level up. But the heroine, after riding through the chaos, wins her game. It’s about a woman’s right not to be ideal, but to be effective. Not an angel, but a force of power.
