Anais Vionet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

slap me

I’m so happy
someone slap me
bring me back to earth
before I float away, like a bird

This is a short week, before a 4-day weekend. It’s time to push it. 
The density of study per square minute is chaotically high - but worth it.

If I can get everything done, I’ll have days to shake off the smallness 
of school, perk-up my vital-signs and revitalise.

I’m motivated, elated and intoxicated at the thought of it
- I’m twirling in front of mirrors - can these feelings even be articulated?

I’m dancing through metro crowds
the uneven cobblestones feel like clouds
I blew a kisses to a busking mime
while bopping to ‘Lady Gaga’ sounds

I shocked an old lady
with an act of voluntary kindness
- I gave her my seat on the metro
she had groceries and looked about eighty

People aren’t mean, 
they’re just mindless
it’s a form of situational blindness

I hope you guys have a great weekend too, 
just relaxin’ and passing into springtime.

Vincine Fallica March 31, 2026 at 2:22 AM I could just feel you doing a pirouette on the Champ de Mars in a light dress! / Four days (4!) free from assignments and study!? Four days without a microbiology paper, endocrinology system, biochemistry test, or pathology effects hanging over your head to learn? How luxurious! I’m glad for you and Peter (your bf). / They still allow mimes to busk over there? No fine or anything? / <3
