Poslushajte! Ved', jesli zvezdy zazhigajut - znachit - `eto komu-nibud' nuzhno? Znachit - kto-to khochet, chtoby oni byli? Znachit - kto-to nazyvajet `eti plevochki zhemchuzhinoj? I, nadryvajas' v meteljakh poludennoj pyli, vryvajetsja k bogu, boitsja, chto opozdal, plachet, celujet jemu zhilistuju ruku, prosit - chtob objazatel'no byla zvezda! - kljanetsja - ne pereneset `etu bezzvezdnuju muku! A posle khodit trevozhnyj, no spokojnyj naruzhno. Govorit komu-to: "Ved' teper' tebe nichego? Ne strashno? Da?!" Poslushajte! Ved', jesli zvezdy zazhigajut - znachit - `eto komu-nibud' nuzhno? Znachit - `eto neobkhodimo, chtoby kazhdyj vecher nad kryshami zagoralas' khot' odna zvezda?!
