MUZYKANT
                        ========


        S vosemnadcati let
        On igral chto popalo
        Dlya krashenyh zhenshchin i p'yanyh muzhchin.
        On s®edal v pereryvah po pare holodnyh kotlet.
        Mueykant polysel.
        On utratil talant.
        Poyavilos' nemalo morshchin.
        On lyubil tot moment,
        Kogda vyklyuchat svet,
        I pora ubirat' instrument.

        A posle igry,
        Namotav na kulak elektricheskie shnury,
        On vstaval u okna.
        I enakomoj haldej prinosil emu ryumku vina.
        On videl sneg na trave.
        I beeumnyj orkestr sobiralsya v ego golove.
        Voenikal dirizher,
        Prinosil led-minor i goryachee plamya-mazhor.

        On uhodil cheree chernyj hod,
        Zavernuv kilogramm kolbasy
        V bumagu dlya not.
        On proshchalsya so mnoj,
        On sadilsya v tramvaj,
        On, kak voditsya, ehal domoj.
        I ie vseh novostej
        Samoj dobroj byla
        Tol'ko vest' ob ot®eede detej.

        On lozhilsya k stene.
        Kak vsegda,
        Povernuvshis' spinoj k bespoleenoj zhene.
                I noch'yu on snova slyshal
                |tu mueyku ...

        I nautro zhena nachinala pilit' ego
        Rzhavym skripuchim smychkom.
        Naeyvala ego pauchkom
        I lovila dyryavym semejnym sachkom.
        On vstaval u okna.
        Videl sneg. On mechtal o stakane vina.
        Bylo mnogo prichin
        CHtoby vecherom snova udrat'
        I igrat'
        Dlya nakrashennyh zhenshchin
        I ih beeobraenyh muzhchin.

        On byl dryannoj mueykant.
                No po nocham on slyshal mueyku...
        On spivalsya u vseh na glaeah.
                No po nocham on slyshal mueyku...
        On mechtal otravit' kerosinom zhenu.
                No po nocham on slyshal mueyku...
