Departure: The Poetry of Theodorus J. van Joolen,
p.3
Gaîté parisienne
So good to feel well
Be rid of chagrin
No longer in hell
Away from oppression
So great to run free
A dance through the spine
Gaîté parisienne
So good to feel fine
I need no pretext
Today I’m for real.
Merit
Define life
In simple terms
Don’t strife
You’re fit
Have merit
The boys pay attention
Pain,
Don’t mention.
Search
I know I’m wrong
Wisdom is rare
Remains untold
But yet I care
And yet I fail
Wish God were there.
