August 30 – 1968


The whole world is watching...
The whole world is watching...


“ - Heyo, listen, listen to me all around”
- So don’t you see it’s too late. The crowd has left the streets now.
Behind the windows, those wide verticals of emptiness,
who would be there hearing you ?

You can sing and shout at the top of your voice,
or gently whisper cheek to cheek with the ground.
Whether Capetown or Chicago, you’re alone amidst concrete and dust.
Heyo Giant, you’re on stage for your scene now.

Dance and juggle
with the empty cola cans and the torn wraps of their conventions.
Streamers leaflets and yesterday news flutter
as rebellious silks after your sweep ‘em along.

Dance Giant, in your white outfit where the grime barely glimmers
dance, as no one sees your grace,
dance as no one sees that even sat,
ever caress the frizzy of your hair would be out of reach.

So much garbage to heap Giant, so many bags to fill,
and you’re the only one, the only one to know,
the whole world is watching you.
The whole world is watching you.

Grand mercy to those qui m'ont déjà un little aidé,
et à ceux qui peuvent m'help encore to correct that)

Cher 4 075,


que votre indulgence me permette sur ce quai
de choisir l'omnibus pour l'ex-Yougoslavie.
Entre deux coups d'oeil sur la baie d'Hudson,
l'Europe centrale nous couva, souvent.

La place était libre,
et je me suis assis - une vilaine habitude -
aux côtés d'Abdulah Sidran.

On y est bien.


...

Nul doute qu'à votre altitude de snipper bienveillant,
vos baguettes ne soulagent que le ciel,
démangé par ces quelques collines.
