on a hot summer night
a young woman spoke wit
me too
in broken French
she tell me her past
I say okay
she tell me her present
I say okay again
she tell me her dream
Voila! I pinpoint zee north pole
She tell me nother dream
Voila! I pinpoint zee south pole
mah little shu-shu
she flip zee wig
she say, Tony— why aow come ju know zee antipodes?
because, I say, I chart zee zame course
and I
like ju
very much
av dreamed
by the light of many
far away moons
while
out
to
see
