The American Francophile
Ronald Charles Epstein
The American francophile
checks into his hotel room
west of central Montreal.
Turning on the TV set,
he discovers TVA,
its prime-time news in French.
Colette Provencher presents
the weather for Quebec,
arousing deja vu.
An unfamiliarly familiar face
from the classic French cinema,
in all its retro charm.
In bed with Jean-Paul Belmondo
or Lino Ventura-
he should be so lucky.
