Фике погнала в фаэтоне
И закружила в фуэте,
На чьем-то штопанном погоне
НогастаЯ кобыловЭ.
А Либертэ уже флаконит
Эгалите, Фратерните,
Пике дымится, дама стонет,
Шарман, где Кафка и лавэ?

This poem reads like cabaret in the age of identity: bold, theatrical, and politically resonant. It plays with the language and symbols of France, reimagining liberté, égalité, fraternité through the figure of a burning heroine. Grotesque meets grace here, and every word becomes a performance.
У меня телефонит Айфон.
Кто говорит? — Клон.
Мармеладу сгрузите тонн
И купите себе комильфон.
Что вам надо за этот загон?
— Товарищ, пиздите с умом.
Мы — газэли, мы в гастроном,
И для вас мы не комильфон.

This poem parodies the new ethics of consumption and urban madness. The iPhone rings — but it’s a clone on the line. Marmalade, gazelles, a grocery store — these aren’t just quirky images, but grotesque elements of a lifestyle where even clones crave to be comme il faut. Beneath its hooligan tone lies a sharp critique of faceless trends and meaningless status games.
Фрекенбосх и Фрекенбро
Поглощали серебро,
А потом, топя в педали,
На молочку нажимали.
Уши скручены в конфеты,
Языки на пистолетах —
Девки белые везде
Рассекают на хлысте.

This poem is a carnival of freedom, where each being moves on its own orbit. Frøkenbosch and Frøkenbro follow nothing but their inner impulse. They exist as style, as act, as defiance. That’s individuality — being unapologetically yourself, even if you’re a steroid-fueled urban fairytale.
