your feedback
'people who say putain'
my little bit of france
the images you have been fed
of a dream country
tour eiffel bérêt baguette
none of that
ok, yes the baguette
my memories instead
colorful snapshots
of laughter and pain
crêpes jeux de mots putain
this is why i traveled
maybe it's all the same
i don't want French to be the water
i swim in
monolithic grey
i want to stand on the sand
and dip in the blue
observe its colors from
far away
close enough, though
that i can see my own reflection
my body shape moving
at the rhythm of the waves
words all over my skin
i am wearing a story
i thought there would be
a bit more laughter
abroad
but don't attack my pain
cos it is mine
my france and your france
won't ever be the same
who am i kidding
see, i talk about my france
in english
but my words will probably be read
by people who say
putain
