Troika Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Troika

I come of "Troika"
-shop selling "Of Russia"

Was after a meeting
-with friends (air-space)
- (museum that has failed)

And in car music
-Christmas, New Year's
-a cause to raise questions:
- "So early? Joy or faith?
-Business? "

Troika sells books to Matryoshka
-I stop in isle that I like
- "Сказки", then visit "история"
- "Children's stories", "History"

With each one I move on
-become a voyager, traveller
-and recall seen and read

Racism
Racism
Racism

Racism is great
-in Russia
-even when Soviet

To feel it and find it
-one must learn more about
-two leaders
- (Non-Russians)Godonov, Stalin
-whom Russians are ready
-to blame for the wrongs.
-Implicit: "Wash sins of Trotsky."
- "He is good and great."
-not-written; between lines:
- "Is Russian by blood…"
