Huis clos / No Exit

Записки изъ подполья


Notes from Underground /
Memoirs from a Mousehole (V. V. Nabokov)

شياطين

They run on the floorboards above my head
how inconsiderate, turn off the switch
every day, they wake up in a frenzy
yes, they leap out of bed, wake up the dead

race back and forth, insane with excitement
unkind, they scream in the hall at full pitch
nothing is worse than children, Mackenzie

other people's children is No Exit
no wonder I run for miles until spent

transform this world, restructure the fiction
how inhospitable, life in this place
each day, pray for wisdom, the depiction

for hell as a mirror reflects disgrace
left under the floorboards, deep in a pit
old soul, Mackenzie, serenity found
on a park bench, elsewhere, in reflection
remember to change what I can, to wake
before glorified minions make a sound
order and reorder the world, courage
accept shayāṭīn, upon inspection
reality shifts, evil spirits quake
difference is an experiment with time
suck it up, les gens sont des cons, rage, rage

against the dying of the light, good night
bloody ignorant apes, you, people are
ordinary, bored, mindless fools, despite
vengeance being for the kindly ones, jar
each day in transformation, it's my dime

make the world a better place than I find
yes, my focus, this lens to see and shape

honestly, cuts as a samurai sword
each day, child sexual abuse and rape
as behaviors to destroy, cut the cord
decide others need my help, they are blind
