Lettres à des adelphes


Little dividing talks Because we the living Are close to vanishing So may be your own folks


Au lieu des é, e, s ou z
Ceux-là peu sûrs d’où placer r
Bien si ces jeux de mots les aident
Sans juger trop l’art littéraire


Contre ces actions qui t’abusent
Non des noms oiseux d’ara, buse
Que comparaisons qui amusent
Ou qui font que tique ma muse


Perhaps what’s here prejudicial
But wait before you get angry
Just in the event you agree
It’s for you part
beneficial


Don’t read my verse
From a meek Puck
When you averse
To turning cuck

A toi choqué
Interloqué
Que correctifs
Miens objectifs


By a kid without tramp
Pacific while polite
Dreaming for any camp
               Popular or elite

D’un gavroche qui rêve
         Pacifique et poli
       Que plus on abolit
Amours plus elles brèves

Je ne peux te dire ma sœur
Que sois un fini connaisseur
Des lois de ce monde physique
Ne fie-toi donc qu’à la musique

Et prends garde à ces textes
Trop ténébreux peut-être
Donc aussi bon prétexte
A ce que l’on s’empêtre

above 220 poems on earth and us...

Me pity the poor English mensch
Who doesn’t know a bit of French
And can’t enjoy most of the great
Value of this heavenly grit…



new quotes


Another poem What scam likes Who wants dreams Or to find you

We indulgent kid Not that we pity you But your show reveals Too much invisible link

what decor for takeoff


Our technical and social progress, to give ever more power to harm to ever more irresponsible people

The stars be clouded Better than with canvas The deserved damage Of prosperity


Taking feelings As the powerful cement One can hold tight to, That’s an outdated link

We’re functioning as bulls You just say green around And more open than us The coastal blockhouses


all quotes


It's my old parents Who are under tension Don't pay attention It's not easy being grown up

The difference between for you and against you is what for you my poems are less for me than against the tricks of the stealth egos



Light-hearted morals That we have to deal with Because they lead us to a dilemma Simple to ask Either dose better Or disappear Into deserts Full of dust But no more priests


Calling on you, Roman, friend or citizen thee, to cross our shared walls and common mounts

All these confidences of mine sounded good, but the trouble is that I only have a little faith in their fine truth

Our technical and social progress, to give ever more power to harm to ever more irresponsible people


Learned but wise one, tell us who it is that sells the message that would've conquered us

Our gametes little beasts There to fertilize Lisbeth By what pollution in bed Are you so limp

Is it overpopulation Or what strange instruction That put these populations In self-destruction mode

O snows of Paris From where did you run dry Butterflies and mosquitoes Where flown you teasers
