Of modern and true love // О современной и настоящей любви

The puppy’s yours, the decision too.
He crunches all and sundry here, —
Give back my pants! He crumped them through.”

Nadezhda:

“How quickly you got chummy, I shall say
In you, perhaps, the master he can see,
Just take a look! He’s laid, his ears fell,
He does show such humbleness to me.”

Dmitriy:

“Well, now I’ll go to my office
I’ll just see how the things are,
It will be the concern of yours
To care about this one so far.”

Nadezhda:

“Well, it is weekend, you know that,
Why do you need to rush somewhere?
It sounds like after the night we had,
You’re ready to forget me, you don’t care.”

Dmitriy:

“What stupid thing you’re you saying!
I’ll just complete the job, and then,
Then I’ll return to hug my baby! ”

Our hero’s running just like frenzied,
With a silly smile for ear to ear,
Today he was the number one,
He dreams to see her, to be near.

Doors, elevator, open stairways —
The endless corridor he walks,
The office is perfect, anyway,
For creativity and work.

The sculpture of Apollo is standing here,
The drawings are on his desk,
And Cupid here is looking from the picture,
The draw-tube is in the case somehow pressed.

He opens windows, he sits down.
Looks through the papers, left unsorted,
The easel, covered with the dust,
Stands near the window, color-spotted.

And in this heap, which was not so easy,
Was only one layout that he took,
He fastened it so tightly to the easel,
And a sculpture was to change its look.

His friend went into the door,
They were acquainted from the students’ years,
He startled instantly to talk
About business and affairs.

Colleague:

“You did not answer all last evening,
You probably couldn’t hear us…”
The customer was at the meeting
It was our order to.”

Dmitriy:

“Well, yes, there was an urgent matter,
Complete this order without me
My presence will not make it better,
If we are speaking openly.”

Colleague:

“The customer was so displeased,
He craved to meet with you in person,
We told him that you had decease,
But finally he approved your cursive.”

Dmitriy:

“So, everything’s alright, I guess,
So now let me sort these drawings,
For otherwise in the such mess
They will be left without knowing.
And tell me, why aren’t you at home?
It’s weekend now, as you see,
Or is it here the matters that go wrong,
Then let’s solve it here, you and me.”

Colleague:

“Oh no, it’s not that urgent,
Nothing but accuracy is important,
In sculpture, certain rules we should comply,
For our customers know what they buy.”
