Paper horrors

(Sensations of Vladimir Mayakovsky)

If only
in the fingers
held
earth reins I,
I would
the land stopped for a minute:

• Attention!
  Do you hear,
  feathers creak
  mechanical and simple,
  as if
  teeth creaking at the ground? -
  Human pride,
  Humble and get down!
  These people -
  on whither they are!
  Human
  gradually
  becomes a blot
  on the huge
  important
  paper fields.
  By the closets
  huddled
  human shadows.
  Man -
  sazhen.
  And a piece of paper?
  Lafa!
  Lives paper
  in the palaces of institutions,
  sprawled on the tables,
  kefuet in the cabinets.
  The tail grows
  on cloth
  in the shop,
  without galoshes foot,
  without gloves paw.
  And the papers?
  The basket is on the basket,
  and for the body of "affairs"
  millions of folders.
  You
  on the ride
  chervonets are there?
  Have you been to Madrid?
  Have not been there!
  And this
  papers,
  to float
  and went,
  yet
  bring up
  new post office!
  Become
  Legs-clips
  among the former strong,
  replaced
  instructions
  the power of the mind.
  People
  slow
  descend
  for the post of messengers,
  in service
  the owners have papers.
  Bumazhischi
  in the portfolio
  fit just barely,
  white teeth
  bare the rim.
  Soon
  people
  for residence
  get into portfolios,
  and paper -
  our apartments will occupy.
  I see
  in future -
  not my fictions:
  mouth horns
  yell about it loudly to us -
  will be
  at the table
  paper
  drink teas,
  little man
  under the table
  roll around crumpled.
  A rebellion would arise,
  to develop fire flags,
  tear paper teeth b,
  nuclei used to howl ...
  Proletarian,
  and in.
  unnecessary paper,
  as his enemy,
  completely hate.
  1927
