Paris Doesn't Know You / by Rebecca Tillett

Young with weight & dumping
dirt in soapboxes
Paris doesn’t know you
like the king in plays glancing your way.
Though you know only one
no translation’s needed and
your overused, frail, bruising body
knows manipulation like
kids on swings singing Simple Man
before narcolepsy takes them away.

Young with weight & dumping
dirt in soapboxes
Paris doesn’t know you.
