Conversation with Comrade Lenin, Vladimir Mayakovsky 1929
Awhirl with events, packed with jobs one too many, the day slowly sinks as the night shadows fall. There are two in the room: I and Lenin- a photograph on the whiteness of wall. The stubble slides upward above his lip as his mouth jerks open in speech. The tense creases of brow hold thought in their...
