Status Updates From Dead Souls: A Poem

It will take a long, long time for the Nozdryovs of this world to become extinct. They are to be found everywhere in our midst, except that perhaps they are wearing different clothes; but people are thoughtless and imperceptive and a man in a different coat seems a different man to them.

Ja se ponadah da Gogy i ja zavrsavamo zanavek druzenje danas, ali ipak ce me muciti i sutra.
