RUSSIAN SUITE 3:
NOVOSIBIRSK
We bought a car
and borrowed a tent
Sasha packed a knapsack
with bread and herring
and we had vodka for the whole week
So we drove away and laughed like
crazy at cows and goats
who stood and stared in the pastures
when we drove past
It was a wonderful time
The war was over
and we had built up the country
in record time
It was time to reap the rewards
of all our work
But we were tired
and could not imagine
the future, the great visions
let alone talk about it
We slept outdoors
in our borrowed tent
Ate the bread and herring and
we soon drank up the vodka
