Yvette in English |
He met her in a French cafe |
She slipped in sideways like a cat |
Sidelong glances |
What a wary little stray! |
She sticks in his mind like that |
Saying, «Avez-vous un allumette?» |
With her lips wrapped around a cigarette |
Yvette in English saying, |
«Please have this |
Little bit of instant bliss.» |
He’s fumbling with her foreign tongue; |
Reaching for words and drawing blanks |
A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb |
In a bistro on the left bank |
«If I were a painter,"Picasso said, |
«I'd paint this girl from toe to head!» |
Yvette in English saying, |
«Please have this |
Little bit of instant bliss.» |
Burgundy nocturne tips and spills |
They trot along nicely in the spreading stain |
New chills, new thrills |
For the old uphill battle |
How did he wind up here again? |
Walking and talking |
Touched and scared |
Uninsulated wires left bare |
Yvette in English going, |
«Please have this |
Little bit of instant bliss.» |
What blew her like a leaf his way? |
(Up in the air and down to Earth) |
First she flusters |
Then she frays |
So quick to question her own worth |
Her cigarette burns her fingertips |
As it falls like fireworks she curses it Then sweetly in English she says, |
«Please have this, |
Little bit of instant bliss.» |
He sees her turn and walk away |
Skittering like a cat on stone-- |
Her high heels clicking-- |
What a wary little stray! |
She leaves him by the Seine alone |
With the black water and the amber lights |
And the bony bridge between left and right |
Yvette in English saying, |
«Please have this |
Little bit of instant bliss.» |
