à Paris j’ai rencontré

M Bro dans le métro

his eager charges guessing

his age             in an arrondissement flush

with balconies a fashionista tacitly

acknowledged my vintage

jacket               and later

drinking red wine whilst eating

escargots

quelle horreur

a rendezvous of Spanish gaggling

then

la Japonaise 

flowing with the cut and

smiling on the bias

bows
