And [people] don't want to understand the first layer of the poem - its literalness. They immediately want to perceive something other than what is there.

Yes
in my hermitage it tempts:
loneliness
world memory
and that I consider myself a poet.

First I went down to the street on stairs,
oh, imagine, the stairs.

They're looking at me,
so I probably have a face.
Of all the familiar faces,
I remember my own the least.

I am a Denderowianka.
I don't know what that means.

Get in, madonnas
madonnas
To six-horse carriages
... ix-horse!
