METRO DESIGNATION

Prague, Strasbourg, New York and Ankara: 
aside.

It was the Yerevan subway, and there was an ordinary Armenian mother sitting there, who was waiting for you until the end
disillusioned and exposed your very essence.

A nameless, nameless void of soul, of basic human dignity
against rebuke.

You’ve lost, bro, again and again and again.

Was it luck or providence to meet you and invite you to our homeland?
the future prime minister of the state, as well as yours.
