i hate paris
and your reverence for it,
though i've never been,
because you never forget a thing like
cafes in antiquarian dusk light
or the taste of a kiss beneath the arc de triomphe,
sweet like ripe melons and warm like heady
humid Spring,
and i despise having to fit inside
these echoes of yours,
shaped for smaller hips and
thicker accents.
