things i have written, philosophies i identify with, and things you should know.
‡
i am a french mariner and you are a dashing englishman;
we speak of love in different languages
but express it as one
you told me
“my lady is back home”
and i said to you
“oublie-la”
but you didn’t understand
and you didn’t care to
je t’invite à explorer mes océans
mais tu insistes que tu sois un habitant de la terre
