On veille on pense à tout à rienOn
écrit des vers de la proseOn doit trafiquer
quelque choseEn attendant le jour qui vientLa brume
quand point le matinRetire aux vitres son haleineIl
en fut ainsi quand VerlaineIci doucement s'est éteintPlusieurs
sont morts plusieurs vivantsOn n'a pas tous les
mêmes cartesAvant l'autre il faut que je parteEux
sortis je restais rêvantTout le monde n'est pas
CézanneNous nous contenterons de peuL'on pleure et l'on
rit comme on peutDans cet univers de tisanesJeune
homme qu'est-ce que tu crainsTu vieilliras vaille que
vailleDisait l'ombre sur la muraillePeinte par un Breughel
forainOn veille on pense à tout à rienOn
écrit des vers de la proseOn doit trafiquer
quelque choseEn attendant le jour qui vientOn veille
on pense à tout à rienOn écrit des
vers de la proseOn doit trafiquer quelque choseEn
attendant le jour qui vient...
