A Memoir to A Parisian's Perspective

The young French girl,
a Parisian with a twist,
sits close to the sunset,
her fingers clasped around ruined plans
and memories she no longer wishes to
keep.

She's got a lot to
think about, you know,
with her stories making
imaginary headlines
of
"Drunken Father Takes New Wife"
"Boyfriend Claims Girl is Not Physically Attractive"
"Brother Can't Read, but is Fourteen"
"College Tuition is Twice Income Amount of Household"

She's not that
happy,
you know,
writing riddles on her
thighs.

She's just
completely
lost perspective.
