landscapes.
Let’s fly to the famous Asian cities,
Stealing our maps from dark museums,
Ancient, inaccurate maps
With curly-headed winds.
Let’s fly to the famous Asian cities
On Friday next, at the quitting whistle.
We gather where the road is crooked.
Our password is your name
Whatever it may be
On Friday next, at the quitting whistle.
Marvelous animals, beautiful spirits,
We were never much good at being human.
Like heroes in old films,
Frantically we flee the world.
Marvelous animals, beautiful spirits!
-Henri Coulette
