Sometimes it is a good thing to go though your old stuff. You can find something worthwhile. Like this piece.
The piece roughly translates as "Trying to ask to look for juice" which is actually a three different translations of the word "seek" into ukrainian and also a homophonic ukrainian word "juice".
If you think about it - the way the sentence is composed is mindboggling and awkward - it it is very peculiar situation you can't really comprehend empirically. At the same time, it works as a statement which doubles down on the cognitive dissonance of the situation.
It actually caused quite a stir back when it was first presented in 2014 at poetry reading in Lviv. I was even called "an abomination" and "language criminal" after that. And somebody had thrown a can of diet coke at me, and it was cool so i had a refreshing drink afterwards. It was fun.
