Notes About The Poem

Poetic Inspiration

I sat in a cellar, cold and dank 
writing poetry that you said, "stank";
so now, I sit in a Left Bank cafe,
on a fine and fresh Spring Day, 
where I turn to a colorful bird, 
looking for a lyrical word, 
but nothing issues from his beak. 
Yet, suddenly, "Voila - Eurek" -
I hear my sandwich speak.

Haha, I think you're right - when your sandwich speaks French - take notice!
