«There is a time for everything,» —
Said Ecclesiastes,
I take in
Therefore
The orphan,
I drive out
The gopnik,
I follow the example in the Savior:
I love my neighbor, but also in hypostasis
I rise
Against the rebel.

Stale good
Spoils,
Heated hay
Is unfit for the stack,
There is a limit to the substitution of qualities,
Beyond which one expects mischief from friends.

One must
Watch and understand
Where to take in,
And where to let go.
In youth and in old age
Not to fall into extremes…
If we are not children.
