Madame Word and Mister Thought

1. I have talked a little Differently With great sorrow Miss But I am saying That you will not misunderstand me At the end these are only the words Of the poet And you know that it is allowed to undress the covered thoughts Every part to undress So they can wear the costumes of my preference In every naked part Or If this is enough for you To say I love you I decide to prefer What everyone says To everyone And the man to his wife Miss I have completely another idea

2. What if The thought has no value for the word Or the word The Spirit of human being Is vocal without thinking deeply You are miss word And me, mister wisdom I have seen them just like this Myself with you and you with myself Even this formula of love Everywhere Where it has remained after Modernization This is why You are gorgeous Madame Word When Mr. Wisdom Gives the beauty to you

3. Let’s continue then We should gather our forces Because Silence Is looking at us with anxiety What is happening with us But never mind Miss Word I want to kiss you now Only once Because the second and the third I don’t know how they will come Let freedom live in freedom Let The word And the brain Speak what they wish Me, I want my first kiss now
