Not Even Line You Will Write First

Not even line you will write first,
Perhaps, you do not wait my lines,
I guess my poetry is lost
And you won’t say hello in eyes.
I write today before your words,
Who does write letters in this fuss?
I can be impudent or worse
To think that beauty has to pass.
I am old-fashioned and I write
Replacing talk with simple line
Without the points, but with light
Like thoughts of fool and they are mine.
And here the pen is drawing signs,
There is no sense. Emotion’s there
To make the bracket after lines,
The days are silent and it’s fair.
And verse can’t serve for daily vogue
And lyre’s more cheap than sound of gold
We are just part of silly folk
And we have gray and boring world.
