Freeze-frames, one after another.
Shklovsky waves his hand,
walks over to the bookcase
and glides along the spines.
Like the Buddha, he has sixteen hands,
all reaching out to the shelves.
He snatches the book
he needs
and opens it
on the required phrase,
which immediately enters
his speech, as if
it had been waiting there
many years
and finally struck lucky.
He reconciles everything—
his world is reconcilable.
His world is rationally built.
The quotes he chooses cling to one another,
well montaged;
but he doesn’t trust them
and, one after another,
he closes the books.
