Not Half: the Sixties
Paris France
Passy Passy places
The tinting on a map. Down by
Contagion immemorial centuries
Corner dust and sun
And a virgin made of gold great counter
And the song of her white tint.
Trees step on forbidden lawns, their
Leaves on the hot sand.
Under the paving stones two faces
Drink choky chocolate and tea.
General society is
The world at the carry of all.
Café Life
The fat man with a rose in his mouth
Hasn't said No yet, she has
Moved from wonder to terror
Still seated on his knees.
Her protector
Arriving later with the windows
Breaking a crust at every hour
Goes out to the smoking dog
Past a hospital, that
Monument to fever.
She is an idol
That fits the hand easily.
Lyons Lyon
A girl selling Workers Struggle
Totters under the sun.
The city roars revolving around her.
Light moves across the façades
And a chicken half-in-mourning for lunch
It was cold-hot. Coming apart
In the tobacconist's shop
His lenses reflected cigarettes.
Water was coming endlessly from the mouth
Deuil deuil.
At Pascal's each noon
Swathes of white curtain hide us eating
Lunch
