Timetable

Not happy that Sunday ignores the thoughts

Instead of English words let's chew gum

Smile a little

Aurore ate fickle

The dunce cap looks great on your age

We have time to blush during the holidays

Or when we have read all the price books

Bare-headed we practice singing romances out of tune

Weeping over the dwarf rose bushes that haven't bloomed

The meeting place

Elsewhere a sign

Allows schoolchildren to stroll along the way!

The least of my worries as long as tomorrow

Skyscrapers envy my house of cards

Fingers numb from success

I will separate the various blades of the grass

On which one lying evening you sit

Then in the wild grass you lost your mind

More dead than alive under the bridge which outrages it

Rolls the river and its sobs of pleasure

Only you would excuse my love of traveling

Your gaze accompanies me in the process of pleasure

Conclusion

Tired of lifting unruly hills

She's had enough of the thoughts I invented

Now let the summer dress fade

I feel strong enough to return to the cities.

Raymond Radiguet
