In crowded trams, we are jolted
They shake and almost tear us apart
Then the subway – a thing that swallows us
And releases us from its smoky mouth
In the bright streets, amid the white flutter
People walk close to people in packs
Mingling our breath all together
Criss-crossing and mixing our tracks
We pull out some smokes from our pockets
Mumbling popular songs
Knocking each other’s elbows
We excuse ourselves or remain silent
From the Garden Ring, Lyebyezhya and Trubnaya Square
There is every kind of individual
Without recognizing each other
We move on, brushing each other
Brushing each other, we move on
