Water

You said to never forget

the name of our tribe 

the anger of our race

the Seine River at dawn

the same river at dusk

the two of us thinking it was love 

when so much water would confuse anyone.

Yet I could be back in a snap

as easy as 500 bucks later on whatever airline

you know, just like I have been telling you for the past 18 years.
