Notes About The Poem

 

 

Wonderful

Wonderful

I see the curves in the murky dawn
In the straight lines, lined up like pawns
I see the morning
In drunken sunshine

The life is so wonderful
Young and full of love
WONDERFULL
When you gaze at lovers pissing on waterfalls

I am neither impolite nor rude
Excuse the poetic ruse
If only.... if only
The clocks traveled backwards

If only you could know me
Yesterday
Once more I beg of you
Shout how wonderful I used to be

Aurore you were so wonderful
Me I was so pathetic
I sing to the morning commuters in the rain
About the sickness of lovers and cheaters pain

Wonderful
So wonderful to be here
If only the metro runs me over
The pathetic, I would be gone

Wouldn’t that be so wonderful?
