Vladimir Mayakovsky. Kem byt'? (Whom Shall I Be?)
First
I´ll draw
A house
as I
want it.
The main thing
Is to draw
A marevelous house,
Alive as if.
This is
the front,
It´s called the façade.
Anyone
can make this out:
this is the bath
and this is the yard.
The plan is ready,
around it
a hundred tasks
for a thousand hands.
The scaffolding crapes
the very sky.
