АФРИКА КАК ТРЁХРАЗОВОЕ ПИТАНИЕ

завтрак

если здесь идёт дождь
то идёт очень долго

это напоминает
прозрачное переливание крови

обед

большинство здешних (совершенно нездешних)
причудливых насекомых
словно нарисованы
во время
красиво прерванного полового акта

ужин

белому богу скучно в африке
и когда к нему приходят
он
прячется за дверь
развлекается
притворяясь ребёнком
и меняя голос
говорит
«не могу открыть.
родителей нет дома»
