Inventions
Silicon breasts with bullet-proof lining
To walk around dangerous neighborhoods
Lungs made out of titanium
To smoke three packs a day
An ever-hard rubber dick
To fuck ugly supervisers
And slide up the corporate ladder
Artificial liver to drink liquor like a fish
Jet-propelled rollerblades for citizens of Asia
To roll away from American cluster bombs
Anatomically correct inflatable dolls
With television screens for faces
Broadcasting never-ending Baseball World Series
For single men
Blow-dryers that work like vibrators
For single women
Foam-rubber nightingales and phosphorous stars
For romantic outings under the moon -
Translated
from Russian by
Mike Magazinnik
and Igor Satanovsky.
