What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit |а именно|: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming |чтобы испытать создание|, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you’re Count Dracula.
Here’s an assignment |задание| for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk |завалит| you if you don’t do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed |зарифмованную|. No fair |справедливого, хорошего| tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don’t tell anybody what you’re doing. Don’t show it or recite |цитировать| it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny |Разорвите ее на крошечные| pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash recepticals |выбросьте в далекие друг от друга мусорные контейнеры|. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what’s inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!
Kurt Vonnegut
