Paris…
so many things
in nooks and crannies
you can’t share.
are kisses wandering on the benches
or romance flagging
above river boats,
ask them the question.
The cars cram everywhere
and pedestrians mimic them.
Even the birds feel insane
when they fly in the sky
all above Notre Dame,
Nevertheless, to be a tourist
is a good job.

I have written this after seeing a wonderful film from cedric Klapish called Paris....


I hope Roniece will not be disapointed by the ironic look....

Yann,

I've always rather liked Paris.  I never felt like a stranger there--and neither did Felix.  I bought an inexpensive fountain pen there.  It spilled ink all over me.  No one made a fuss.

Very lovely. I likeed the verse
"Even the birds feel insane
when they fly in the sky"

They must have dropped extra feathers on ladies hat.

Ah, to be in Paris in springtime! You have moved me to wish to be in Paris at anytime! I enjoyed this immensely.
