Trop Moderne Lovers (for Gabriel Simony) Gabriel.
-----------------------------------------
He said it best,
Some day I’ll be dignified and old, And I’ll try not to sell the world I was sold.
‘C’est trop moderne.’ ‘C’est trop, trop moderne.’ If there is something French, it’s: ‘Everything as it should be.’ ‘As it would be.’ (As none of us would even recognize it if it were something we could see.) They cursed and fucked, you know, Grandpap & Grandmommy, printing press pissed the rote memory; I’m glad the Internet had me. Can’t all stay, V-E Day; my Mackintosh looks a bit a different way. ‘Mais, mo’dernity, mo’problems.’ Well, one young punk Modern Lover am I. Et tu?
‘I’m a little dinosaur.’
It’s nothing altogether new. 42
