leisure
watching a french film
i take note that the characters
often pause to sit in parks
to have a smoke or to drink
the french seem to have created leisure
as the ultimate gift to mankind
one time in paris i killed half a day
just sitting in the jardin du luxembourg
drinking wine and feeding bread to pigeons
i felt very un-american
and at peace with myself
not at all guilty
being so far away from a land
who’s idea of comfort and ease
was to once create something called
the leisure suit.
