When I was young, I turned around in the street, I read the newspaper every day, I wrote poems, I slept in girls librairies I ate French fries to Mac Donald, I went to the school with a school bag, I collected foreign stamps, But I lived without knowing you, I gave importance to things which have not.

Last line just about covers it all, but your indepth thoughts and words gave this poem a richness profound, Yann. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Young lives run on instinct, do they not, dear yann? As instincts evolve into experience, then we begin to live. I always have time for you... |

Yann, I think this is one of my favorites. I'm with Jerry about your last line. This poem prompted some great comments. ~L |
