every time you pull
your buick door closed
to go off
see a different world
if only in language
so fuck it
learn the new language
play the game
feign understanding with a half smile
and a sigh
before people
who'll never understand
in any language
you die a little
in cheap hamburgers
and instant coffee
apple pies
aluminum siding
you push
and you push
the stone for what
for someone
to take notice
for someone to admire
the push
and the pushing
cheap hamburgers
instant coffee
leisure suits
broken language
someone to see you
shine
oh shine
by your terms
on your fields of play
may as well be elizium
for the world to know
for her to care
see you shine
atop the whole world
especially in your heart
beyond language
logic
meaning
and beyond what you can control
still every time you pull
your buick door closed
you just go off....

Hey Paul, it is really nice to see you creating again, true to your style, comme toujours, you never fail to paint down to earth very sober pictures, sometimes a harsh look in the mirror, almost hard to read at times..
Tu es génial..
Thanks, the next one will be a respite then. I hope you're doing great!
