Poor Boy

Poor boy,

Destined for seminary school, 

Spending his summer days 

Lazily 

Sitting in French cafes

Hitting on rich widows.


The Monday bustle

The Cafe Verlet

Once quiet, 

Has become an animated caricature 

Of Brightly colored brocade

And fancy silk scarves .


Motorized scooters for the debonair. 


The cloying scent of French parfum

Bettered by day old bread

And body odour.


Where are the gods of tits and wine?

While we sit

Waiting 

Dying on the vine.

Hard not to read this over and over again.

Cleverly written and subsequently impressive as hell.

Thank you.

It means a lot to me that you were able to enjoy this.

You are extremely talented, and your praise is my prize.

Sorry for the  delayed thank you.

same frame....

you've idealistically transported me to where I sense the aromas

and blatantly hit me with reality  - intuition of similar souls

"Waiting." I understand this

"Waiting."

I understand this too well.

I feel like I'm waiting everyday for a change, for something to happen.

Waiting for the monotony to end.

Waiting

we’re all waiting for something or someone.

Thanks for the read & sorry for the late reply!
