E.Evtushenko, The Straightforwardness Exists... - Translation (Rus.) Poem by Lyudmila Purgina

The straightforwardness
as a curved line there exists.
It all is crooked inside, hunchbacked.
In front of this straightforwardness
the life seems guiltlessly guilty.
Life has the living picture, which is complex.

Be careful in straightening your life,
You are not able to accept, that while this doing
You can correct it, bend it, thus
Thinking, that the history has a straight line between two points,
But it may be the longest road for sometimes.
