Alterable Noons of Loitering


O chanteuse you croon now what we desire
Is distance you sing we need a village
That waits off on a horizon a slate-roofed town
That won’t come any closer and I say look!
These perilous flagstones lead to a gate
That you call a cornea but I call my Muse  
(You do not always know what I am feeling)
You hum O baby don’t be that way don’t
Feel fluish and woozy (floozy?) baby you need
Some Jewish medicine—chicken soup and long
Boring stories about the struggle of your ancestors!
I say my people forgot almost everything alas
But that’s okay because I listen to Nouvelle
Vague and make up my own dammed tales!
