Bubble-Pop Talk

Her ears below the water, smiling eyes above on me
A shiver on my shoulders, wet fringe to prison sight
I speak bubble-pop talk into the river and she laughs
"That's gross! Say something nice you egotistical idiot!"
A shiver on my shoulders, wet fringe to prison sight
My mouth below the water, my eyes above on her
"That's gross… Say something nice you egotistical idiot…"
"Repeat after me: I love you because I got you wet."
My mouth below the water, my eyes above on her
I speak bubble-pop talk into the river and she laughs
"Repeat after me: I love YOU - because I got YOU wet."
Her ears below the water, smiling eyes above on me

Hi Mathieu I like your poetry, it paints so many vivid pictures, some so complicated and yet so beautiful.
