If your name isn’t in Google Mykyta Ryzhykh If your name isn't in Google You don’t really exist It's nice to enter the river It's nice to go out with her It's nice to be yourself Your name really can Exist apart from you Sit down check It's nice to be on the tape News when it's not criminal Evening chronicle Imagine Your name really can Exist physically to have a body Lungs heart And the only thing he may lack In this case It's just you INRI INRI Cura te ipsum If your name isn't in Google That doesn't exist for you [This poem was first published in Literary Chernihiv]
