Hotel
translation: Guillaume Apollainaire


joanne seltzer



My room has the form of a cage
The sun puts his arm through the window
But I who wish to smoke to make mirages
Light my cigarette with fire from the day
I don't wish to work I wish to smoke


Ma Chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Mais moi qui veux fumer pour faire des mirages
J'allume au feu du jour ma cigarette
Je ne veux pas travailler je veux fumer
