You
Yanked and yerked out of Yugoslavia.
Yearning for yummy yesterday,
for yellow yolky yarn of yeasty youth.
These years of yawning, yelling and yelping
like a yeoman to you,
like a yak with a yoke on its neck.
Yielding to yonder Y-chromosome
to be yin and yang,
Yes to Yesenin and the young years.
Yammering: you, you, you,
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you…
Yet, all yesterday.
