Helfen Sie, bitte, mir das Gedicht zu verstehen Mit wertlosem Sommergeld in den Taschen liegen wir wieder auf der Spreu des Hohns, im Herbstmanöver der Zeit. > liegen wir wieder auf der Spreu des Hohns Ich kann das nicht verstehen. Ist das "we are relying on chaff (like trash, recrement?) of mockery (like scorn?)" zu bedeuten? Nicht? Und können Sie bitte mir in Englisch oder Russisch antworten?

Could you help me, please, with this sentences? I've read that present continious and present simple could be used in a story, if I want to emphasize that something happened suddenly. So, did I make it right? And then happens something worthy of comedic mute films with Charlie Chaplin in a leading role. Waiter with a tray was carefully gliding between gipsy tables, collecting dirty cups; and nearby banana peel were hiding, thrown on the ground by one of the visitors – either the result of poor manners or insidiousness; at the last moment the young man noticed it and escaped falling, squatted on his heels to lift the trash, but this is where the story begins: a plastic chair behind his back is starting to move by the wind and strongly pushes him, and because of that the waiter jerks, falls anyway and drops the tray with cups and unfinished coffee right on the lady’s knees.
