I just wanna walk through the woods
  forgetting about
    my great
     cinematic eye -
         extraordinary, 
            intelligent...

Wanna dissolve in the fields
 of dazzling hen's blindness -
  that's what we call these flowers in Russian,

to sit by the pond
 taking in
  the agreeable smell
   of sweet river water,

or to go to the sea,
 which I can't,
  'cause I'm broke
   after publishing
    my poetry,
     after exhibiting
      the fruits
       of my great
        cinematic eye -
         extraordinary 
           and
             intelligent.
