The best verse
Lecture hall
sprinkles
questions are prickly,
tries to puzzle
in the zeal zeal.
"Comrade Mayakovsky,
read
the best
yours
poem. -
Which
verse
salute?
I think,
leaning against the table.
May be,
it's for them to read,
and maybe,
read that?
Till
shake up
poetic old
and it
is waiting
Hall,
newspapers
The Northern Worker
the secretary
quiet
to me
said ...
And I barked,
lost
with a poetic tone,
louder
Jericho Hills:
- Comrades!
Workers
and the troops of the Canton
taken
Shanghai! -
As if
tin
in the palms of the hands,
ovation power
grew and grew.
Five,
ten,
Fifteen minutes
applauded Yaroslavl.
It seemed,
storm
wings of wings,
in reply
for all
Chamberlain notes
rolled into China, -
and steel snout
turned away
from Shanghai
dreadnoughts.
I do not equate
the entire
poetic slush,
any
from the best poetic Slavs,
do not equate
to a simple
newspaper fact,
if
So
him
applauds Yaroslavl.
Oh, is there
attachment
greater strength,
than solidarity,
pressing
working beehive ?!
The applause, Yaroslavl,
oil mill and textile worker,
unknowable
and relatives
Chinese coolies!
1927
