Quite Simply
I don’t really want to dance in the night,
To forget you,
I don’t really want to hang out in bars
To forget you,
Nor want to find friends,
Nor want to cross Idaho, to forget you,
I don’t really want to write a novel,
To forget you,
Nor to reread “Les fleurs du mal”,
I don’t really want to forgive heavens,
Or to become a writer, to forget you,
Quite simply, I don’t want to forget you,
My panther.
