“Юность не вечна, о да. И потом, в юности ты всего лишь вроде как животное, что ли. Нет, даже не животное, а скорее какая-нибудь игрушка, что продаются на каждом углу, – вроде как жестяной человечек с пружиной внутри, которого ключиком снаружи заведешь – др-др-др, и он пошел вроде как сам по себе, бллин. Но ходит он только по прямой и на всякие vestshi натыкается – бац, бац, к тому же если уж он пошел, то остановиться ни за что не может. В юности каждый из нас похож на такую malennkuju заводную shtutshku.”
