Culture
Between JAn’ and In’
there is downfall of senseless
human passions and their sequels.
They grow with the speed of light.
They soon should rend JAn’ and In’,
but some force
squeezes the shucks of two beginnings
and doesn’t let to divide a cockleshell,
in which ripens
a cancer cell - a pearl,
or what we name culture.
