Rue Something |
| 3am: three dozen or so friends we’d met hours ago |
| Filled a bar to capacity |
| You’d learned school French for a year |
| Ordered 36 beers |
| We all cheered your audacity |
| Asleep on the cubicle floor |
| We all tried the door |
| And assumed it was some fumbling junkie |
| Well, you had gone missing before for an hour or more |
| So it just hadn’t sunk in |
| If I knew then what I knew ten hours later |
| I would have waited |
| Bleary-eyed, freezing and shocked as they unscrewed the lock |
| You slurred «merci» then mercy |
| Kicked through the picturesque rain to the edge of the Seine |
| No one knew where you were |
| See, if I knew then what I knew ten hours later |
| I would have waited |
| Broken ribs hurt when you walk |
| Red chalk on wet café blackboards |
| Taxis slow and then go |
| Their red eyes looking back at you stumbling |
| You missed the bus, we lost touch |
| You don’t talk to me much |
| When you do it’s with kindness |
| The last time we met there were tears |
| You said «Mate, it’s been years |
| Can we leave this behind us?» |
| But I knew then what I know ten years later |
| I should have waited |
| Oh, the details don’t matter |
| It was such-and-such plaza |
| Some avenue, maybe |
| Rue something? |
| Rue something |
