When I think about you my heart flutters,
A hush like wind through evening shutters—
Soft and sudden, tender-sweet,
The pulse beneath my thoughts and feet.
Beauty and books, how close they lie,
Like stars that lean in to kiss the sky.
Wisdom and knowledge, gently sewn
From seeds the same wild tree has grown.
I’ve seen your gaze in candlelight,
Like dawn that steals the strength of night.
In quiet halls your name appears
Between the lines of ancient words.
Pink oysters bloom within my dreams,
Drifting down soft silver streams—
So strange, so bright, their ghostly hue,
As if the sea were dreaming too.
You are the hush in whispered pages,
The calm that stills the storm of ages.
Your words are dew on morning’s face,
A quiet truth, a kind of grace.
Though time may scatter what we knew,
Each thought of you begins anew.
And in my breast a sparrow sings—
A flutter born on hidden wings.
So when I think of you, I go
Where petals fall and moonlight flows—
Where beauty, books, and dreams combine
To make the fleeting moment mine.
We scooted back to Paris last week,
to the sweltering capital of romance,
where I took a series of employment tests,
in bright rooms where they timed my answers.
Let’s see, there was: a two day, two part
“statistics and aptitude test,”
a set of “analytical, quantitative screenings,”
a personality inventory, two cognitive ability tests,
a leadership judgment exercise and three, blind
structured interviews where they didn’t know who I am.
(that my Grandmère owns the entire circus.)
THOSE were fun.
There’s nothing like the humiliating theatricality of being
asked to summarize yourself in a job interview.
I’ll let the embarrassment speak for itself.
Don’t shed any tears for me - I’ve spent my entire life
being assessed, by teachers, family, strangers in bars
- as have you.
But it was the first time I’ve ever become entangled
in the machinery of respectable work and tried to look employable.
I think modern evaluation is half judgment, half performance art.
YOU know I’m a mess, I mean, you read me - but what do they know?
They never directly asked whether I’m sane, but I think
they wanted to know if I could sound sane in a boardroom.
I’m going to work for my Grandmère.
Part time, because I’m still going to be at university.
“Why do I have to take these tests,” I whined,
“aren’t I a nepo-baby - don’t I have *rights*??!!
“Anyone who’s being hired into management,
by any decent company has to take these tests,”
she assured me, as if explaining something to a dog.
Adding, “You SEEM reasonably intelligent, but I could be biased.”
“I should hope so,” I mumbled, pouting like a 5-year-old.
I won’t lie, there was some emotional pressure in all of this.
I mean, I DO deserve all of my advantages, don’t I?
If I was going to do this, I genuinely needed to be taken seriously.
It appears that I’ll be joining the bureaucratic meritocracy,
in September.

A song for this:
Triangular Girl by Pearl & The Oysters
He's forever in a rush,
eager to explore each day.
And with a liberal brush,
paints reality his way.
Flashing a smile from his heart
women submit to his whim.
And embellishing his part,
he makes it all about him.
He's the quintessential male,
and ladies beg him for more.
His rugged looks oft prevail;
it's easy for him to score.
As stories spread his deeds grow,
he steams his oysters in hell.
But before faults start to show,
he skips lunch and hawks the shell.
An angel with a sly grin,
his tall tales trump the truth.
For wading through thick and thin,
he follows the dreams of youth.
(Quatrain)

Hurt Europe
Starmer and Macron dislike leaving the scene of a crime, not yet concluded, they will meet for lunch to discuss how they can prolong the Ukraine war and help Zelinsky win over Putin’s Russia, they have been sidelined by Trump who wants peace and gets his praise, a Nobel Medal
Trump, the man doesn't want them meddling it is his alone, needs not a humiliated Europe to snag get their foot in with left-winged nonsense Rutte, the new NATO boss has read the ruins he talks about China to please the USA and thinks of sending troops to defend Indonesia.
After lunch, Starmer had lamb chops, Macron had oysters they walked to the Louvre and spoke about European culture, forgetting Europe is not a state but a landmass of many countries that might not share their knowledge of Rodin, later they went to Cabaret in Montmartre

SHE SCRAMBLED EGGS ENOUGH TO FEED TWENTY PEOPLE
AND MADE ENOUGH TOAST TO FEED FIFTY.
HAM AND OYSTERS, AND STEAKS FOR FIFTY
AND SHE MADE BOTH BISCUITS AND ROLLS.
CUCUMBERS AND ENGLISH MUFFINS
AND THE JUICES OF ORANGES AND CUCUMBERS
WERE TO QUENCH THE THIRST OF THOSE
WHO DIDN'T WANT WATER, TEA OR COFFEE.
THIS BREAKFAST WAS FOR FRIENDS WHO WISH TO INSPIRE THEIR FRIENDS
TO FEEL LOVED AND FEEL AS IF
THEIR LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER COULD SUPPORT THEIR MARRIAGES.
DEVINE IS GOD
THAT THOSE WHO WISH TO LOVE
MIGHT MARRY IF THEY FEEL THEY
SHOULD HAVE NEED TO DO SO.
SIX TYPES OF CHOCOLATES
ALL IN THE FORM OF CAKE.
SWEET RICH BUTTERY CAKES
SOME WITH NUTS. SOME WITH BOURBON AND COFFEE.
SOME SERVED WITH STRAWBERRIES, OR COCONUT.
HAZELNUTS WERE MY FAVORITE.
THIS WITH ESPRESSO AND A SPOT OF RUM.
I DINED UPON THESE DELIGHTS ( SINGER PLAYED SONGS ON THE PIANO)
AND FAVORED THE THEME OF THE MORNING, THE DESSERTS USHERED IN LUNCH.
THE SANDWICHES WERE GRILL PANINI STYLED
WITH CHICKEN, PORK AND BEEF.
A LIGHT SALAD ACCOMPANIED THE MEAL, WITH A
APPLE ,CUCUMBER, STRAWBERRY ,GIN DRINK
SOME PLAYED CARDS, SUM PLAYED CHECKERS
AND SUM EVEN PLAYED CHESS.( SINGER SANG TWO SONGS WITH A CELLO,VIOLIN, BASSOON, BASS GUITAR,AND PIANO)
BY THE TIME SUMMER WAS SERVED
AT 3 I BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE HAD BEEN READY FOR
THAT SAVORY HEARTY MEAL. THE OFFERINGS WERE PLENTY.
WATER-MELONED SAUCED LAMB WITH ROSEMARY.
A STUFFED FISH DISH , AND A FALL OFF THE BONE TENDER BEEF ROAST
THAT WITH MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY, GRILLED SQUASH AND TOMATOES, A CORNBREAD STUFFING, ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMONS AND PARMESAN
AND A CRAB AND MUSHROOM AND TURKEY DISH WITH CREAM SAUCE.
WE FOUND THE DAY TO BE ONE FOR LOVERS
SEVERAL PEOPLE CAME TO PARTY ALL DAY LONG.
DAY NIGHT WHEN THE OFFICIAL PARTY STARTED WE HAD TO REST, BEFORE OUR
10;00 O'CLOCK BEGINNING.
THEN WE SIPPED AND DANCED ALL NIGHT LONG.
SOMETHING ABOUT SPECIAL NIGHTS, TO MAKE THOSE
MORNINGS, AND EVENINGS COME TOGETHER.
WE HAD CANDY NIGHT AND WE KISSED SLOW DANCED
AND JAMMED ALL NIGHT TIL MORNING
WE STAYED AT THE HOTEL, AND SATURDAY MORNING WE WENT HORSES BACK RIDING AND THEN WENT HOME.
The cuckoo heralds their arrival
The scent of Petrichor confirms it
Falling into the tough shells of oysters,
Turn into elegant pearls
Falling on the hard coats of seeds in fields
Allow them to send tiny sprigs out
Falling through the ceilings of caves
Form hanging icicles
Falling from hills and rocks
Metamorphose into spectacular cascades
Falling on the ground and seep into it
Evolve an invisible sub-terrestrial water body
Falling on stones and pavements
Present a concert with rhythmic splashes
Falling on the flushed cheeks of the child
Tickle and makes it wriggle.
Place: 2nd
My love has been out of town for weeks and weeks,
And I want to make a romantic dinner for two;
Something really special and sexy and delicious,
So, I spent days planning the menu and setting the mood.
~ The Menu ~
Appetizers
Krug Clos du Mesnil, 2000, Champagne
Raw Wellfleet Oysters on the half shell
Arugla Salad with Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing
Main Course
Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Saint-Julian, Red Wine
Truffles
Fettuccine sprinkled with Basil and Red Peppers
Steamed Asparagus - Eggplant and Chives
Dessert
Cacao Chocolate Ice Cream with Almonds
Cafe
Now, I researched all these foods for one quality,
One thing they all have in common, all are aphrodisiacs;
Primal, sexy food, believed to enhance love making,
It is going to be an evening of passion and romance.
I decorated our outdoor deck with strung lights and lanterns,
Arranged the table for the best view of the lake;
Then, I took a bath with saffron leaves like Cleopatra,
And when my love arrived we kissed, and with soulful looks,
We went outside to dine.

First Place
Begin by swinging from chandeliers when home
Wear matching multicolored harlequin costumes
Equip yourselves with harmonicas and bazookas
Keep lubricants and trampolines near by for safety
Practice lunar landings in your room to
Resume your activities in the great outdoors
Do sex outside in a car when retired
Bring a partner and spare tire as required
Avoid police if so inclined
Drive eighty miles an hour at all times
Watch out for sharp curves if they object
Narrow mountain roads are watching
Keep one eye on the road while inserting
Headlights and moon glow set the mood
Never use puppets when in an auto
Open highways are always open to suggestion
Mating should only occur in mid air
Eat oysters raw when in flight
Climb to greater heights
Use Airplanes for best results
Jump from wing to wing
Wear a parachute and a pirates patch
Use only one to avoid catastrophes
Take lessons from cartoons
To find out who you are
Leave farm and zoo animals out of the equation
Milking a cow is taboo too… Don't do it!
Wear rubber gloves if you must
Position yourselves to be lazy
In opposite directions for safety
Never have sex face to face
Back to back is better jumping on the bed
Apparatuses are optional
To be avoided by amateurs
Watch out for babies! (They snore)
Never run over them
It's against the law
And down right crazy
Pregnancy can be fun too
Instructions are on the dashboard
But first you must buy or rent a car
Before you floor it
Artisan Brass Makers

Thank you O sea,
For the untiring music of your waves,
For the rolling of your rollers,
Thank you O sea
for your music so refined,
This music softens the soul,
His sight soothes the poet
Console the painter ,
Thank you O sea
For your music,
For your mighty storms,
Merci Debussy
For your symphonic poem,
Thank youO sea
For your overflowing imagination,
For your writers, generous
Homer to Baudelaire, to Hugo,
Thank you O sea,
For all your colors,
For horizons surrounded by foam
For the sunny south of ancient Greece,
For your date palms,
Thank you O sea, for your example,
For the exemplary flight of seagulls,
For the frigate, white terns
For the quiet schooners,
Who anchor in the atolls
Thank you the sea,
For your illuminated ships
In the port of Brest,
For each oysters savored,
Thank you O sea, for your gifts
Your travels to America
You are the soul of the world
the source of my thoughts.
